Product Mapping
Product Mapping
Product mapping works the same for Toast, Aloha, Positouch integrations.
What is product mapping?
Product mapping if the process of pairing a product in the PourMyBeer product database with the corresponding menu item in the Point Of Sale. When the product and the menu item are mapped properly, the product information will correctly appear on the receipt. If a product is NOT correctly mapped to its corresponding menu item, there will be a "PMB Fallback Item" on the customer's receipts. The cost of the pour will be captured and correctly charged, but the line item will simply be listed as "PMB Fallback Item" and not the actual product that was poured.
It is important to make sure all products are properly mapped to prevent customer confusion as well at maintain proper reporting data in the Point of Sale.
Add/manage beverage products between PourMyBeer & Omnivore:
Watch the how to video here: Product Mapping Video
- Products must be added to both the PourMyBeer system & your POS menu.
- Enter all your active beer wall products into your POS menu, with open pricing, and publish. We recommend creating a "Beer Wall" category or sub menu to organize and be sure to name the products exactly as they are named in your PourMyBeer system for easy product matching between the two systems. Also, in your POS Beer Wall menu create a product called "PMB Fallback" which will be used in case a product match between the two systems cannot be found.
- Once products are entered in both systems, launch the PourMyBeer Product Map App on the PMB server to help sync products: http://localhost:8580
Products with exact name matches will be automatically mapped and any outstanding products that could not be automatically mapped can be done manually by selecting the product and then mapping to the item in POS (see screenshots below):
