• Tab Name: name of tab
• Tab Description: optional text you can write to explain your tab on the menus. For example “this is our gluten free menu”.
• Tab Type: dictates how the child menu items of the tab will be classified. This is important for two reasons:
  • Sets up where menu items will be printed (if you have different printers for different stations)
  • Selects where the items will show on the tablets – under “Food” or “Drinks”
• Select Kitchen: if you have multiple kitchens you can select where this item will print
• Select Zones: if you use multiple zones, you can select if an item will show on menus of a particular zone
• Tab Colour: on POS screen this indicates the colour of your tab
• “Allow Ordering” – whether the tablet menus will show the “order” button
• “Show on tablets” – this will hide the tab from the tablet menus BUT will still allow ordering from POS (or menus in staff mode)

On the right-hand side you will see a scheduler table. If the auto-scheduler is active, you can select when the tab is active but pressing on any time slot – this will toggle between “ON” and “OFF”. You can also make a while day on or off by pressing the relevant button on the bottom of the day.

Please Note: Deleting a tab is only possible if there are no menu items under that tab. If you wish to delete a tab with menu items, you must first move those items to a different tab (and hide them off the menu if required).
