Highlight items and allergens in colour

Colour an item so it is hard to miss, or make a word such as "gluten" or "no" stand out in the modifiers.

These settings are on the Kitchen tab, so a manager must be signed in, or unlock settings first — see Unlock settings that need a manager PIN. They are shared by every screen at the venue.

Open Settings → Kitchen → Styling. Item & Modifier Styling is on by default. Switching it off hides every colour but keeps your rules.

Colour an item

1. Tap Add Item Colour Rule. Select Items opens.
2. Choose how the name must match: Exact, Contains or Starts with.
3. Tap an item under Currently in queue or Recent items (30 days), or type one under Or enter manually and tap Add. Close the list when you are done.
4. The rule is added in red. To change the colour, tap the square beside it.

The item's name and quantity take the colour on the card, in the all-day bar and in Consolidated Items. Capitals do not matter. If two rules match one item, the higher one wins.

Highlight a word in modifiers

1. Tap Add Keyword Style and type the Keyword.
2. Choose a Match Mode. Whole word finds "no" in "No onion" but not in "Gnocchi". Contains finds it in both.
3. Tap Add Keyword, then Cancel to close the box.

The word shows in bold red. Tap the square beside it for another colour.

For a ready-made set, tap a button under Quick presets. Words you already have are skipped.

Allergen Alert matches "nut" as a whole word only, so "nuts", "peanut" and "walnut" are missed. Add the words your menu actually uses.

What is never highlighted

• Keywords only colour modifier lines. Item names and Note: boxes stay plain, even with Apply To set to All text — an allergy typed into a note is not highlighted.
• Struck-off items and modifiers lose their colour.
• POS orders that show as a copy of the printed docket have no colours.

To remove a rule, tap the bin beside it.

Done

Matching items and words show in colour on every screen at the venue.
