Layouts

Layouts are how the system displays the products to the user. There are currently two types of layouts that Fusion utilises;

Point of Sale

This layout displays products to the operator on the Point of Sale. It is typically split into menus that group similar items together either by service time (break, lunch etc.) or by type/area (drinks, sandwich bar etc.).

Pre-order

A pre-order layout displays products to the user who is making an order via a Pre-order kiosk or the Fusion Online pre-order mobile application.

Smart Board

This layout is predominately used for Primary Schools. The students or staff can select products via the Smart Board in the morning ready for collection at lunch period.

Just like price lists, layouts also have a start date. The system will use the start dates of the layouts to determine which is the current layout.
