How Do I Create a Menu File?
This lesson will teach you how to create and edit a pop up menu file that can be used at the register. A button can be created to access this file at the register to allow you to choose from a list of PLU's rather than assigned each PLU to an individual button. This saves time at the register and space on your register screen.
Edit/Create Menu File
In the terminal window, type in the name of the menu file you wish to create. This is the name of the file that will be assigned to the button at the register. All menu files have a .men extensions. For example: chicken.men, colddrinks.men, deli.men. Note that when you enter the file name on this screen it tells you "Enter File Name to Edit Without .men."
