Classic Menu Item Record

Prev Next

Menu item records are automatically created once the POS integration has been completed. R365 will automatically import each menu item that appears in your POS. Similar to the relationship between Employees and POS Employees, a menu item and a POS item will be created for each menu item that appears on each POS that is integrated with R365.

  • Menu Items - Allows the user to set the details for each menu item including: Display Name, Estimated Cost, Price, Target Margin, etc.

  • POS Item Links - Allows the user to link together more than one menu item. This is especially helpful when a menu item has a different name (in the POS) at each location.

R365 Best Practice

For users that want to keep their Menu Item list in order, R365 recommends using the Menu Item Categories and creating a saved view for the menu item list.

Users can set the filters to only include the categories that they want to see, or specifically exclude the categories they do not want to see, such as 'NOT MENU ITEM'.
