Manage article groups
How to structure your items into groups (drinks, food, miscellaneous) — basis for printer assignment and sales breakdown in the cash register report.
Why product groups?
Item groups organize your items into product categories. You control which printer is activated when an order is placed and how the receipt is printed via the group. Additionally, the groups appear in the cash register report as a sales breakdown. This allows you to see at a glance how much revenue is attributable to drinks, food, or your own custom groups. This should not be confused with menu categories: these organize the menu for the server, while receipt printing is tied to the item group.
Standard groups at every restaurant
When setting up a new restaurant, three standard groups are automatically created: Drinks, Food, and Miscellaneous. For many businesses, these three are sufficient.
Create your own product group
The name is freely selectable, for example, tobacco products, ice cream, or merchandise. The available types are beverages, food, and miscellaneous. You do not set the tax rate via the group, but directly on the individual item. When creating an item, the item group is a mandatory field and is pre-filled with beverages—an item cannot be saved without a group.
To configure which printer is responsible for which item group, go to Settings → Printers in the POS app: tap the desired printer and select or deselect the item groups individually in the form. In addition to item groups, reports, receipts & vouchers, and deposit refunds are also available there.
