Creating a new product (PLU)

Creating a new product (PLU)

Instructions

  1. Login to the Microtill Cloud

  2. Click on "Products" from the left hand menu

  3. Click on the "New" button

  4. Enter the Name of the Product

  5. On the “Details” tab. Select a relevant Group, Department and Tax Rate as shown in the image below:

  6. Scroll down the page to the "Prices" section, and enter the price into the relevant field.

    1st@ Price is your standard selling price. 2nd@ Price is used for your Half Pint price (relevant to things such as Draught Beers and Soft Drinks). 3rd @ is used for your Double Up price (relevant to things such as Spirits).

    Price 1 is your standard selling price, price levels 2-9 are used when you want to sell the products for a different price altogether, for example, for a Happy Hour, a special event or for members tariff.

    Majority of the time all you’ll need will be the 1st@ Price, Price Level 1 (Top left box)


  7. Click on the Terminal Flags tab and you’ll see some settings for Kitchen Printers and Selective Itemisers.

    Although it’s described as a ‘Kitchen Printer’ this does not necessarily mean that the printer is in the Kitchen, it’s just what the system calls printers that aren’t physically built into the Till and where orders can be received.

    Selective Itemised are simply a way of telling Discount Buttons what kind of item they are. For example, we can set up a discount button to target just drinks by directing it to Itemiser 1, or just food by targeting Itemiser 2. This is not something that you necessarily need to have for the product to “work”, but if you apply the setting now then there will be less work to do if you decide to make a discount button at a later date.

  8. Drinks will need to be set to Kitchen Printer 1 and Itemiser 1, and Food will need to be set to Kitchen Printer 2 and Itemiser 2. This may differ if you have more kitchen printers, we recommend looking at another active product similar to the one you are making and use that for reference.


You will need to assign the product to either the Keyboard or to a List PLU before you will be able to sell it
