The regular menu includes any regular or retail item that should appear on the order entry screen. Amigo Pos 7 can support an unlimited number of menu categories. Each menu category can have an unlimited number of menu items and each menu item can have an unlimited number of modifiers. Changes to the menu category editor are saved automatically by changing rows or pressing the Enter key on the keyboard.
Menu categories are defined inBack Office > Regular Menu >. Categories are assigned to menu groups, which can be configured to appear only during certain hours or days. When viewing menu categories in list view mode, select "Add New category" from the drop-down list to add a new category. Enter the new category information on the top line and click Enter to commit the changes. Menus categories can be set to appear only between certain hours of the day or on certain days of the week. For example, the Seafood category can be limited to Friday evenings between 4 and 11 PM. If menu categories should always appear, regardless of time of day, set the Time On value equal to the Time Off value.
