Item Screens
Definition
Item screens are containers for your Sales Items. They are the basis of how Sales Items will be structured at the POS.
Very often, the item screen's descriptions will be similar to divisions that were created earlier. However, they are not to be confused as their function is not the same. The general idea is to use item screens to group sales items by theme.
Examples :
- Starters
- Soups
- Salads
- Burgers
- Sandwiches
- Choice of sauce
- Choice of cook type
- Choice of sides
