This section of the system allows you to add, edit or delete categories straight from the POS without having to go to the back office.
There are security settings that allow you to restrict access to this area
To restrict access to the Menu, edit or you need to turn on the override for that area and then set the employee or the job that the employee is using to deny them access to get past the override.
Setting the Override makes the system ask for a passcode when you press the button related to that override. In this case it will ask for a passcode when you press control panel > Menu Management
Setting the employee privilege “Edit Menu” to “No” means that when you are asked for the passcode that employee’s passcode will not allow them to get past the override. At this point they could ask a manager to enter their code.
“Menu Categories” are groups that contain “Menu Items”, the buttons used to actually sell an item.
The orange button at the bottom of the screen allows you to move a category.

“Description” will only show here. It is not available anywhere else
