Menu Design

Before taking orders in Rezku POS, you need to create the menu for your restaurant.

TIP: A POS menu is more than just a list of items like a paper menu. The goal of good menu design is to create an efficient workflow for servers ringing up customers and reduce errors when sent to the kitchen.

Rezku POS is very flexible and allows you to approach your menu structure in a way that works for you. An organized menu makes ordering fast and easy, so planning ahead is advised. The friendly Rezku support team is happy to help build your menu with you.

Adding Top Level Menus

The structure of a menu is a lot like files and folders on your computer. Top-level menus can contain products and submenus .

Top-level menus create the primary structure for your menu and become the buttons along the bottom of the menu area on the POS.

  • Available for Online Ordering -- Toggle on (green) to enable.
