Adding a product from scratch

One of the first things you will need to do to get up and running with your EPOS is add the products that you sell.

This article takes you through adding products from scratch (where you don't have a product template linked to the category), but in many cases you will be adding products based on a product template, which populates much of the necessary information for you.

Note: Many of the default categories your system starts with already have product templates linked to them.

To add a new product, go to the Back office and click Products, from the top left of the screen.

Select the category you would like to add products. In this example we will click Food.

Then select the sub category you would like to add products to, Starters.

Press Add Product and enter the name of the product you want to add.

You can now enter any details you would like to set for your new product.

The only field you need to enter to sell a product is the base price, but you may also want to enter a description, which will be available to staff by pressing and holding the EPOS button, and to any customers using mobile ordering.

Note: If you have your cost price for the product to hand, it is useful to set this on the stock tab of the product. If you have a cost price set, the system will tell you the gross profit (GP) you will be making on the product to the right of the base price field.

To make your new product appear on your EPOS, press the Sync Changes button that will appear across the top of the product screen.

That's all you need to create simple products and sell them from your EPOS, but there is much more you can add to get more from your system. Here are some articles you might like to read next:
