Please Note:

The system will look at the button style settings and create buttons for the items based on these settings.
All the fields related to the Image pertain to the Category.
The category settings are defaults and can be overwritten on an Item level.
POS Behavior
Print on Pay
If checked, Items in this Item Category will print on Pay Receipts. A Pay Receipt is the receipt the server presents to a member for signature (or payment method and additional gratuities to be added).
Print on Settle
If checked, Items in this Item Category will print on Settle Receipts. A Settle Receipt is the Receipt that is printed after the sale is tendered to Member Charge, Cash, etc. It will print the final total with additional tip and payment method.
Do not print modifiers
If this field is checked and the modifier has a price, the price will add into the base price and the modifier WILL NOT print on the member receipt. Example: if a pizza is 10 and three additional items were added at 1 dollar each the check will show 13.00 pizza total. If the field is unchecked the modifiers will be listed individually on the member receipt.
Please Note:
If Print on Pay and Print on Settle are not checked the Items will not be listed on the receipts. The only time a club should choose not to print an item on a receipt is if it is a zero priced item. Example: The club might want to track Member Green Fees or towels that are not charged; they will ring up the item at POS for reporting purposes but do not want it on the member receipt.
Do not print modifiers is usually unchecked for food but is checked for Liquor. Example: if there are additional charges for food add-ons most clubs want to show that on the receipt. However if there are extra charges for Liquor on the rocks or up most clubs don’t want that listed on the receipt and prefer to add the extra charge into the base price.
Print Configuration Tab
Please Note: This tab applies to FnB Item Categories Only and does not apply to Retail or Billing Categories.
The Print Configuration Tab tells the system which Prep-Printer the items within this category are sent (Hot, Cold, Bar, etc.). The F&B Items will inherit the print configuration but can be changed on an item level.
Message Type is always set to ItemCategory.
The From Type works in conjunction with the From field. These fields are used if the club has more than one kitchen or bar. Click the down arrow to get a list of options.
From Type Options:
POSDevice
If the item is to print to a specific prep printer (kitchen/bar) based on the Terminal location,click the down arrow and choose From a Terminal Device (the system will list all devices but you must select a Terminal device not a Printer device).
Example: The club has an upstairs and downstairs kitchen, if an item is sent from a POS terminal upstairs it will always print to the upstairs kitchen no matter what Area was selected
Area
Is used if the item is to print to a specific prep printer (kitchen/bar) based on the Area the ticket was open. From click the down arrow and choose the Area.
Example: you have an upstairs and downstairs kitchen, if an item is sent from the Dining Room it always prints to the downstairs kitchen even if it was sent from an upstairs terminal.
Please Note: If Area is selected ALL Areas that send orders must be setup > to Add another Area configuration click the *asterisk; this will create another line.
Area Category
This option works the same as Areas except it pulls from the Area Category instead of individual Areas
Anywhere
If there is only one kitchen or bar select this option.
From Column Options:
Please Note: The list will vary from club to club.
If POSDevice was selected the list will populate all devices (both printer and terminal).
If Area was selected the list will populate all the Areas setup in your system. You must setup and configure each Area that prints orders to a remote printer.
If Area Category was selected the list will populate all the Area Categories set up in your system.
Anywhere will only give the option Anywhere.
To Type Options:
The To Type works in conjunction with the To field.
To Type:
POSDevice – Devices are both terminals and printers.
POSDevice Group – this is the preferred setup; using groups makes it easy to reroute orders to a different printer if a printer dies or orders need to reroute to a different kitchen or bar.
To:
If POSDevice was selected the system will list all Terminals and Printers setup in your system.
If POSDevice Group was selected the system will list all device groups set up in your system.
Start Time & End Time
Used when an Area of the club uses more than one kitchen or bar in one day.
Example: The clubs orders print to a grill kitchen from 8am to 3pm and then from 3:01pm to close the orders print to the Main Kitchen printer.
Day Of Week
Used only if certain days Areas of the club use more than one kitchen or bar, if this applies to more than one day each day will need to be setup separately.
Message
The Category setup should always be sNameOnOrder: this tells the system to default the send name to what the item description is. The Send Name can be changed on the item level.
Please Note:
Do not leave the Message field blank or None; if blank or None no Item description will print on the prep-printers unless you manually enter the name on the item level.
If you accidently clicked None and want to fix; highlight the line by clicking the pencil on the left of the line and hit your delete key on the keyboard.
Click Save & Close when done.

SKU Number
The system will automatically create a SKU Number.

The vendor you purchase the Item from. To find your preferred vendor, click the search Icon and select the Vendor.
UPC Code
You can scan or enter the Item UPC code
Please Note: You can also create your own Numbering system; some shops want to use their old SKU so they do not have to re-label all their merchandise. When you scan the item in POS the system will first look at the UPC code, if there is no UPC code the system will look at the generated SKU.

Please Note: If the shop wants the item immediately available to sell but does not enter the inventory the day it arrives, it is highly recommended that this field is checked.

Pictures
Pictures can be uploaded of the Item(s); the picture can only be seen in this screen and nowhere else in the system
Point of Sale Screen
The Point of Sale screen is where you will specify if the item is to print on the POS Receipts.
Print on Pay
When checked, the item will print on the Pay Receipts. A Pay Receipt is what is presented to the member before closing the ticket to a settlement type.
Print on Settle
When checked, the item will print on the Settle Receipt. A Settle Receipt includes everything that the Pay Receipt displays but also includes the form of payment and additional gratuities. Typically Retail Shops do not print a Pay Receipt and only Print a Settle Receipt.
Please Note: If Print on Pay and Print on Settle are not checked the Items will not be listed on the receipts. The only time a club should choose not to print an item on a receipt is if it is a zero priced item.
Example: The club might want to track Member Green Fees that are not charged or towels given at the Pool; they would ring up the item at POS for reporting purposes but do not want it on the member receipt. If the item has a price and one of these two fields are not checked; the total on the ticket will be correct but the item will not be listed.

Vouchers
How to Sell the Voucher:
In POS sell the Voucher Item and close the ticket (once a voucher has been sold it is immediately ready to be redeemed).
How to Redeem the Voucher:
When an item associated with the Voucher is sold the system will see the member has purchased the Voucher and will prompt a confirmation message. Member Carlie Smith has a voucher for Item ‘1 Hour Lesson’; Would you like to use the Voucher? See example below.
Selecting YES:
The system charges the item on the ticket and credits the amount; the ticket total will be zero. It also credits any difference between the Item Price and the Voucher Price. This allows you to use existing POS Items at a different price when setting up Vouchers.
Please Note: The income is recorded at the time you sell the Voucher Item; the system uses Credit Item when redeeming the Voucher to reduce the amount remaining.
Selecting NO:
The item will be added to the ticket as normal. The members can chose to use or not use one of their vouchers.
Voucher Rules
Once you sell a voucher, changes to the voucher setup will not affect any Vouchers previously sold. Only vouchers sold after the changes will contain the new setup.
Example: A voucher is setup to use items 1, 2 and 3. Days later you decided that item 4 should also be included. Any member that bought the voucher set up with items 1, 2 and 3 will not get credit when they buy item. Anyone who buys the voucher after the changes will include items 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Please Note: The vouchers can only be sold through POS. You cannot sell or redeem them through member charge.
Voucher Setup
Credit Item
Create a POS item just like any other item; set the price at 0. This item will be used to credit the sale. The GL and Tax Code need to match the Voucher Item being sold; to ensure the setup is correct, point the Credit Item to the same Category as the Voucher Item.
Please Note: The income is recorded at the time you sell the Voucher Item; the system uses the Credit Item when redeeming the Voucher to reduce the amount remaining.
