Use Store Operations > Menus to view the menus.

The Menus form allows the ability to view PLU items in menus and menus that are linked together in menu chains / order menus. Menus are assigned to the POS touchscreen, Self Checkout touchscreen, or to the register keyboard if one is used.

The Menu Selector displays a list of existing menus sorted in the order of their Menu ID number. The menu selector displays the Menu ID number, Menu Name, and any Notes.

The note field displays additional information about the menu for configuration use only. The note is displayed in only in areas of the configuration such as menus, touchscreen configuration, self checkout configuration, etc. Notes appear in parenthesis to the right of the description.
