The Amigo Pos 7bar menu is similar in structure to the regular menu with the exception that item modifiers are assigned to bar categories and that tax rates are assigned to an entire menu category. Similar to regular menu optional price levels, up to 6 bar menu upcharge levels are available for each bar category, with the price for each upcharge defined per bar menu item, for a possible total of 7 price definitions per bar menu item (1 regular price + 6 upcharge prices).

 

Most users will find it useful to modify the existing bar menu included with Amigo Pos 7. The default menu includes most common bar menu categories and items with various combinations of upcharge levels, special pricing, button sizes, images, and other customizations that demonstrate most common features.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bar menu categories are defined in the regular menu categories grid, as described in the menu categories help topic.

The update can be performed easily by clicking the Change Category button, selecting both the existing and new categories. All bar menu items in the existing category are moved to the new category.
