In this article, we will show you how to create a new product.
Adding products to your system is a core step in building a functional and efficient menu. This guide walks you through the process of creating a new product from basic details to optional enhancements.
Step-by-step instructions
Accessing the Product Section
Start from the main page and click on Management Menu, located just below Home.
From there, scroll down and select Products under Menu Management. This section gives you a full overview of your product list, where you can search, edit, delete - or create new entries.
Creating a New Product
Next to the search bar, click “Create new product.” This opens the product setup form.
You’ll now need to fill in the required fields (marked with an asterisk):
- Product Name: Enter a clear, recognizable name (e.g., Fried Potatoes).
- VAT Rate: Choose the appropriate tax rate from the available options.
- Price: Set the product’s price - this field is mandatory.
- Product Category: Assign the product to a category. For example, select Food Category, then choose a subcategory like Side dishes.
Each product must belong to a category, ensuring your menu stays structured and easy to navigate.
Optional Features
The new Backoffice also offers several optional settings to enhance flexibility:
- Open Price: Enable this if the price should be entered manually at the POS.
- Menu Assignment: Add the product directly to an existing menu to make it immediately available for ordering.
- Upselling: Set an upselling price or link the product to an option group for add-ons and combinations.
These options help tailor the product to your specific workflow and sales strategy.
Finalizing the Product
Once all necessary details are entered, click Save. Your product is now created and ready to use.
Why It Matters
Creating products correctly ensures smooth ordering, accurate pricing, and reliable reporting. With well-structured entries and thoughtful use of optional features, you can optimize both the customer experience and your operational efficiency.
With just a few steps, your menu grows smarter.
