Adding PLUs

Before you can start selling a new product to your users, it will first need to be added to the system. A product can either be created manually (which we will cover here) or automatically if your system is linked to Nutmeg to create products from dishes held in Nutmeg.

!Note: After creating a PLU, you will need to set a price for it before it can be used (unless this is intended to be a free item and the ‘Zero priced?’ checkbox is selected). Information on how to do so can be found here: Managing prices

Manually adding a new PLU

Typically, you will be adding the products to Fusion manually, this is achieved by using the process below:

1. Press the Add PLU button (located towards the top-right of the PLU screen)
   

!If the ‘Add PLU’ button is not visible, and you can see a ‘Get PLUs’ button, then products are being created via a sync with Nutmeg and the ability to create new PLUs has been prevented in the settings.

2. Configure the PLU as required. Any items in red are required, everything else is optional
   1. Enter the Basic details for the item, such as the name, sales group
   2. Enter any allergen/dietary information (such as this item contains nuts, or is suitable for Vegans) or set any restrictions on this product via the Allergens, Diets, & Restrictions tab.
   3. Enter any Nutritional details for the product. This information will be visible to users making pre-orders via the Kiosk or Fusion Online app/website.
3. Once configured, press Save or Save & close.
   1. Fusion works best with allergen information for the product being entered correctly and therefore attempts to persuade you to confirm the allergen details of the product when attempting to save and the ‘Checked for allergens’ checkbox is not ticked. If this checkbox is not ticked, you will be prompted if you wish to do this now. You can always press ‘No’ to ignore this if you wish. Pressing ‘Yes’ will navigate you to the Allergens, Diets, & Restrictions tab where you can update the allergen info and confirm that the product has been checked.
