Attributes

To add category attributes, first save the new category. Once saved, the Add Attribute option will become available.

Attribute Details

Name
  • Clearly describe the characteristic being defined.
  • Examples: "Size," "Colour," "Flavour," "Toppings," "Quantity."
  • Ensure clarity and relevance to the product.
Position
  • Defines the order in which the attribute appears in the product details.
  • Lower numbers appear first.
Colour
  • Assigning colours to attributes creates a consistent and visually organised experience.
  • Example: "Size" attributes in red and "Flavour" attributes in blue help users quickly differentiate types.
  • Improves navigation, reduces selection errors, and enhances efficiency in a busy POS system.
  • Colours are only displayed in POS and do not affect online table ordering.
Stop Sell

Yes - the attribute is unavailable for selection, either temporarily or permanently.

No - the attribute remains available for selection.

Required

Yes - the customer is required to choose an option. For example, with a "Size" attribute that includes Small, Medium, and Large, the customer must select one size.

No - it doesn’t matter if the customer selects an option. For example, with a "Sauce" attribute (Tomato Sauce, Mustard, BBQ), the customer can choose a sauce or leave it unselected without affecting the order.

Show Online

Yes - the attribute will appear online when using table ordering

No - it will be hidden from online customers but will still be visible in POS.


Note: By default, the Show Online setting is set to No. It must be changed to Yes if the attribute needs to be displayed for online table ordering.

Multiple Allowed

Yes - Customers can choose multiple options (e.g., selecting both Cheese and Pickles as burger toppings).

No - Only one option can be selected. For example, with the "Multiple" setting set to N for a "Size" attribute (Small, Medium, Large), customers can only choose one size, not multiple.
