Updated over a week ago

Peblla simplifies managing and creating items for your menu. After setting up menus and categories, you can easily create items, assign customizations (such as add-ons, sizes, and taste levels), and set prices for each item. This streamlined process ensures that your menu is both comprehensive and easy to manage.

Note: A corresponding menu and category must be created before setting up a new item. It is also recommended to set up add-on groups and other item templates beforehand.

📖 Tutorial

Basic Item Setup

Navigate to Store Portal - [Menu] - [Items].

Click [+ Add Items] to add new items.

The item configuration window will pop up on the right.

Item Name

This will be the official item name that will appear on the receipt and any customer-facing channels.

Item Alias Name

Alias Name is for internal operations only. You can choose to print alias names on kitchen and label tickets or display them on the employee-facing POS screen. If you have a non-English-speaking kitchen, you can also add non-English characters here.

Category

Category configuration can be found under Store Portal - [Menu] - [Categories].

Printer

After choosing the category, this section will automatically show you which printer the item will be assigned to. If the item is not assigned to any printer, the system will direct you to the printer setup page when you save the configuration.

If you want to change the printer setup, please go to Store Portal - [Devices] - [Printer]. Further details on printer setup>>>

Price

Base Price: Input a base price if the item has only one price.

Size Price: Input a size price if the item has different prices for different size options. Sizes need to be configured in advanced settings under Store Portal - [Menu] - [Item Template]. Further details on item template>>>

Free: Use this option if the item is free.

You can remove items from certain channels. For example, you can remove alcoholic beverages from the App, Web, and Kiosk, requiring customers to ask your employees if they want to order them.

Item Tag

Item tags provide key information about each item, showing customers details such as ingredients, dietary restrictions, or special features. Item tags can be configured under Store Portal - [Menu] - [Item Template].

Item Featured Tag

Featured tags will appear on all customer-facing channels. The display style is shown below. These tags help to highlight items.

Internal Mark

Internal marks help restaurant owners find and manage items. Configure internal mark under Store Portal - [Menu] - [Item Template].

Add-Ons

Click [Add Add-on] to associate add-on groups with this item. Click [View] to see details of the add-on group, use the red button to delete add-on groups, and drag the cross sign to adjust the display order.

You can set a minimum quantity requirement for each item in an order. For example, if you enter 2, the customer must purchase at least two of the item in one order. Note that this limitation only applies to automated channels like kiosks, apps, and the web.

Sales Availability

The item will be listed automatically after saving if you turn on the sales availability button. If you don't want the item to be listed immediately, please leave this option unchecked.

Display In Table Service QR Menu

We offer QR code ordering for table service customers; however, not all items are suitable for self-ordering (e.g., alcohol). For these items, you can remove them from being displayed in QR code ordering.
