What is a Product?

Products are the sellable items or services in your business. A product must belong to one category but it can belong to multiple menu groups and can have multiple product tags.

Product Pricing:

A product has two pricing methods open price or fixed price. The open price method allows the cashier to enter a different price with every new order. And the fixed price method requires you to define the price of the product.
