Creating a POS button for a quick menu item

This task enables the quick menu item to be accessed on the POS application and eligible for customer transactions. The following is a sample image that specifies the parts of a POS button for a quick menu item.

Note

The item price is based on the item's data in the store database. The item price cannot be modified using the quick menu feature. If an item price is updated from the database, the POS application will automatically reflect the changes on the POS button of the item.
