POS cafe allows products that require multiple options or modifications, such as barista drinks, to be easily managed and sold via Shopify POS.
Modifications are not connected to your Shopify inventory, rather offering the ability to change and 'add on' modifications at Point of Sale.
POS cafe allows product modifications to be printed on the POS receipt for ease of use of baristas and cafe staff.
The POS Cafe Navigation
Modifiers
- In POS Cafe, modifier sets house options that can be applied to products. For example, modifier set titles may be groups of options like ‘milk’, ‘heat’ or ‘other options’.
- Within modifier sets, merchants add modifier options that may be used to customise their POS products, such as 'Full Cream', 'Skim' and 'Soy'.
- Modifier options may be configured to incur an additional charge.
- You may record a SKU for modifier options (please note: as POS Cafe currently creates custom items in the Shopify POS checkout, these SKUs are not currently able to be used to track inventory or view reports in Shopify admin)
- Modifier sets can be configured to accept a single modifier option (i.e. ‘Full Cream Milk’) or multiple options (i.e. ‘Sugar’ AND ‘Marshmallows’)
- A modifier set can be assigned to more than one product, and products may have multiple modifier sets assigned to them.
Prep Areas
- Prep areas allow you to configure different food preparation areas within your business (such as 'barista', 'kitchen' and 'sandwich bar').
- Prep areas may be assigned to individual cafe items for customising your preparation workflow.
Cafe Collections
- POS Cafe uses Shopify product management to create your initial, unmodified products and to sort them into the collections you will use in POS Cafe. Instructions on how to enter products in Shopify can be found here & instructions on how to create collections in Shopify can be found here.
- In the POS Cafe app, merchants can select the products that will require modification to import into the app.
- Products requiring no modification (i.e. café products such as pre-packaged drinks, etc) do not need to be imported into POS café, rather can be sold directly in the Shopify POS system.
- From the Cafe Collections page you can click into each of your cafe collections and assign modifier sets & prep areas to your products one-by-one or in bulk.
Settings
- POS cafe offers our full feature set for all users at a fixed cost of $29USD per location per month.
- By default, Product Search is enabled which allows you to search for a product from the initial Cafe Collections screen in Shopify POS.
