Additional settings for articles

In addition to basic data such as name, price and product group, the product dialog offers seven tabs with additional settings: Images, Global Variants, Product-Specific Variants, Labels, Recipe, Deposit Items and Included Items.

Images and variations

The Images tab is a gallery: You can add as many images as you like, sort them by dragging and dropping them using the handle icon, and replace or remove each image individually. The first image is labeled "Main Image." All common image formats are accepted; upon upload, the image is automatically converted to WebP and resized to a maximum width of 1200 pixels. Under Global Variants, you assign centrally managed variant groups, such as Size with small, medium, large—changes apply to all assigned items. See Managing Variants. Item-specific variants, on the other hand, apply only to that single item.

Labels and tax rates

Under "Labels," you can mark allergens and additives. These will appear in both the digital and printed menus; you can maintain the global list under "Manage Labels." Tax rates are differentiated between In-House and Takeaway. The available tax rates are those defined in the restaurant settings. New items are pre-filled with 7% in both fields—therefore, you will usually need to manually change the in-house rate for beverages to 19%.

PLU and descriptions

The PLU is a short number that helps service staff find items more quickly in the POS app: it's used in both text and PLU searches. It can be a maximum of ten characters long. It doesn't need to be unique—duplicate PLUs simply result in multiple hits, but a unique code is still recommended. The internal description is only visible to service and kitchen staff; the public description appears on the menu.
