POS Templates are created menus that consist of meal and a la carte offerings that are used during service with the POS Console. Each template provides 40 separate assignable buttons in an eight-by-five grid to provide for large menus. To help with organization, each button in the grid can have one of seven colors applied to it as well as a brief description.


Because Templates are built with meals and a la carte offerings, you'll want to add your Meals and A La Carte Offerings to MealTime first.

Manage POS Templates

The layout of the template is entirely up to you:


Templates can be specific to the meal and the a la carte offerings that are available at the time of service, such as breakfast only:

Or encompass multiple meals and a la carte offerings to be served throughout the day, such as breakfast, lunch, and drinks:


If you have already created all your buttons and later decide you want to organize the buttons differently, simply left click on the button, drag it to a new location and drop it. Be sure to click Save after making any additions or edits to your page.


1. Select a template to edit from the list window and click the Edit button or click the Add button to create a new template.


2. Enter a *Template Name.
Each template should be given a descriptive name that reflects its purpose such as “Breakfast”, “Lunch” or “Snack”.


3. Click on an empty button in the grid to assign Item Properties to it. 


The following three item properties are set for each meal or a la carte offering placed in the template:


4. Select an *Offering.
Offerings available are all meals and a la carte offerings created in MealTime.


5. Enter the *Button Text.
Button texts provide a label for the button. The length of the text on the button is limited to 30 characters.


6. Select a *Color.
Color coding of template buttons is a convenient way of grouping like items for quick identification while serving. For example, making all meals blue, beverages green and snacks yellow will allow the server to quickly locate the button on the page based on food category.


7. Click on another empty button and repeat steps 3-5 above. Repeat for all offerings you would like to add.


8. Click Save to save the template or Cancel to cancel the process.
