Add prompts/options using List PLUs

Lists are used when you want to have a product display a list of options that you can select from. In the following example we will be making a Fish & Chips meal that will give options for Peas or Mushy Peas.

Firstly, we will need to make the options as PLUs. Do this in the same way as you would a regular PLU, following this guide. Also, make a note of the PLU numbers as you make them as this will make things easier in the following steps.

In this example we will not be charging extra for either option, so we need to enable ‘Zero Price’, under ‘Status Flags’. When the Fish & Chips prints in the Kitchen we want the Peas or Mushy Peas to print directly below the meal so the Chef knows what it relates to, so we’ll need to tick ‘PLU is Condiment PLU’ as well:

Once the various options have been made, go to Programming on the left and select List PLUs.

Find the next available unused List, and click on the number in red to the left to open the details:


Enter a relevant name into the Title Bar- Doesn’t matter what it is, just as long as you can identify yourself later:

You then need to add the PLUs to the List. If you made a note of the PLU Numbers then you can type them into the PLU Number boxes below:

If you didn’t make a note of the numbers, you can click and drag over the words “No PLU Selected” and start typing the name of the PLU you want- it’s predictive search so this will show all relevant PLUs after typing a few letters:



Once you have all the items in the list, click Save at the top of the screen.

We then need to attach the list to the item we need it to appear on, so click back to Products, find the meal in question, and click on its number box to open the details.

Click on ‘Option Windows’ and you should find List Box Links 1-6:
Click on List Box Link 1, find the list you made a moment ago and click on it to select it:

That’s all you need to do, so click Save and give it a test on the Till.
