  3. Now you see an overview of your Family Groups "Beverages", "Food" and "Miscellaneous". 

Your menu is structured as follows:

  • There are three Super Family Groups that cannot be changed: Beverages, Food, Miscellaneous.
  • In the Super Family Groups you place your own Family Groups, that you create yourself, e.g. non-alcoholics, juices, beer, wine. As many as you need...
  • In a Family Group are the Super Family Groups you are actually selling, for example orange juice 0.2l, orange juice 0.4l,...

On Family Groups

Create new Family Group

  • Click on the upper Family Group (Beverages, Foods, Divers) in which you want to place your new Family Group.

Categories and Items

Changing the Order

To adjust the order of categories and items:

  • Release the mouse button.

Any Questions?

Why can’t I make any of the above changes?

This is likely because you are currently in an open shift. Changes to the menu cannot be made during an open shift. This restriction ensures your GDPdU/GoBD exports remain clear and traceable. It allows you to easily demonstrate to the tax authorities exactly when, for example, an item was available in the menu or what price it had during specific times.
