Using the Item Detail Screen

Updated over a week ago

Overview

This article explains how to use the Product Detail screen in Platter POS. The Product Detail screen allows staff to quickly view an item’s description, modifiers, add-ons, and notes, and then add the item directly to an order. It also helps users understand item details without holding or long-pressing; simply tapping the item opens the detail view.

Prerequisites

  • User must be logged into the Platter POS

  • Item must be created in the Back Office with:

    • Description (optional)

    • Modifiers (optional)

    • Add-ons (optional)

  • The menu must be synced to the POS

Steps

  1. On the Order screen, tap any product or item.

    • In Platter, users do not need to press or hold; a simple tap opens the Product Detail screen.

  2. The Product Detail screen appears and shows:

    • Item description (if added in Back Office)

    • If modifiers are assigned to the item

    • If add-ons are linked to the product

    • Notes section

  3. Review details, make selections for modifiers and add-ons, and add them.

  4. Tap Add to add the product to the order.

Troubleshooting

Item details are not appearing.

  • Check whether a description has been added for the item in the Back Office.

  • Ensure the POS has synced the latest menu updates.

Modifiers or add-ons are missing.

  • Confirm that modifiers and add-ons are assigned to the item in Back Office.

  • Make sure they are active and not disabled.

  • Sync the POS if changes were recently made.
