Editing the Pre-order layout & Creating new Menus & Items

A Pre-order layout will normally consist of multiple menus with lead through items within them. The most common period would be lunch and a typical menu would be a grab and go bag consisting of a main item like a sandwich, a snack like a flapjack, and a drink like a bottle of water. Once a transaction has been made for a pre-order the customer will receive a receipt to claim the purchase from a collection point. The kitchen will have a specific time that they will usually print off the pre-order receipts to begin building the transactions in time for pick-up.

The first step to creating your pre-order layout will be to add a menu and link PLUs to that menu.

1. Select the Period you wish to create a layout for from the period grid.
   
2. Press the Layout button.
   
3. This will display the Pre-order layout screen.
