This is where you configure the items you wish to sell (Eg a burger, fries and drink combo.), and how the item will be presented at Point of Sale.

• A retail item must have at least one product with in it, but it could have more. For example a burger combo would have at least the burger, fries and a drink product within it, all of which would get added to the basket on POS when that retail item is selected.
• A lot of simple retail and products will mimic each other. So, for example a retail item of “Mr. Happy Greetings Card” will contain 1x “Mr. Happy Greetings Card.” Product.
• You can also create options within a retail items of either a choice of products (i.e. Coke or diet coke.) or an optional item which could carry an extra charge. (i.e. Within a burger, the option of cheese for an extra 50p).
• Barcodes can be added to retail items so it can quickly be found on POS. This is best used for shop items and confectionary. Multiple barcodes can be attributed to one retail item.
   
  Creating / Editing a retail item.
  Find or create an appropriate folder.
• “Add new retail item” or select an existing one.
• Input a description.
• Optionally input a Kitchen Description, which will override what is printed on the kitchen printer.
• Change the Print Layout if you require – this will affect the style of receipt that will print when this item is bought. “Retail” is currently the default and only option. But more could be created using Print Layouts if you wanted.
• Add product components and their price. At least one product must be added.
• Edit the display option to change what the item is called in POS and the in the kitchen printout.
• Use the edit button in the top right of each row to change how many items in that row can/must be chosen. You can give as many options as you like. For example:
  • The “Online Description / Image” tab can be used if you are selling the item online.
  • Add barcodes using the barcodes tab.
    

 
NOTE: In order a barcode to work through POS, the appropriate retail item must be active in a till layout on that till. (I.E It must have a button.)

NOTE: Throughout stock, products and retail ensure that you are creating new items or folders in logical places to keep the system tidy and everything easy for others to find. If a similar item exists in both retail and product, then it should be found in the same folder for each. (I.E English breakfast tea ought to be found in both the Hot Beverages -> Tea folders in both products and retail.) It’s generally a good idea for both products and retail to have a near identical folder layout.
