Poster POS integration: the till menu becomes your QR menu

Poster categories become menu categories and dishes become menu items. Goods that carry modificators are split into separate items whose name joins the product and the modificator, so “Raspberry lemonade” and “Lemon lemonade” appear as two cards rather than one card with a dropdown.

Modification groups become the options on a dish, and single modifications become variants with a price of their own. The price arrives from the till in cents and is divided by 100, the description comes from the production description, and the photo is fetched from the Poster server and resized into the three sizes the menu renders.

Availability is read from whether the product is visible in the spot. Switch a product off in the till and the next import takes it out of the menu.

The import removes items that no longer exist in Poster — including any that someone added by hand in the panel. That is why WMenu hides the add-category and add-dish buttons for venues wired to a till.

This is a choice, not a defect to work around: two menus kept side by side start to disagree at the first price rise. If you want something in the QR menu, put it in Poster first. Categories are the exception — they survive an import even once they hold no dishes.

An order placed from a QR code, for delivery or for pickup reaches Poster as an incoming order. It carries the guest's name, phone and email, the comment left with the order, and the line items with quantities and the chosen modification.

The service mode is translated into the till's own modes: dine-in, pickup, delivery. Identical lines with the same variant are merged, so two of the same coffee arrive as one line with a quantity of 2.

Payment does not travel with it. You settle the order in Poster exactly as before — the integration answers for what was ordered, not for how it was paid.

Prices and availability are read from the first spot in Poster, and orders are filed against spot number 1. With a single point of sale that makes no difference. Run several points with different prices under one Poster company and the WMenu menu will show the prices of the first one.

The import writes names and descriptions in the menu's default language. The other versions come from menu translation in WMenu, not from the till: Poster holds one name per dish, and a guest from Berlin should read their own.
