Set up your products for your Superb POS app

Learn how to configure your Superb POS Backoffice and setup your categories and products

Categories

To organise your products effectively, start by creating categories to group them under. Common examples include categories like "Food", "Wines", or "Beverages".

To create a new category:

1. Go to Inventory > Categories
2. Click "Add New Category"
3. Enter a name for the category
4. Click SAVE

Subcategories help you further refine your product organisation and make searching easier. For example:

• Under the "Food" category, you might create subcategories like "Starters", "Mains", and "Desserts"
• Under "Beverages", subcategories might include "Coffee", "Soft Drinks", and "Wines"

To create a subcategory:

1. Go to Inventory > Categories
2. Click "Add New Category"
3. Choose a parent category from the dropdown
4. Enter a name for the subcategory
5. Click SAVE

Products

To Create a New Product:

First, navigate to Inventory > Products and click "Add New Product".

Fill in the following required fields:

1. Product Name
2. Click the "+" icon in the SKU field to generate a unique identifier
3. Select the appropriate category or sub-category where the product should appear
4. Go to Pricing, then click "Add Default". Ensure the price region is correct (it will default to the one set for all products). Select the appropriate VAT rate. Enter the Cost Price (this is your total cost including VAT) – useful for calculating margins. Enter the Retail Price, which is the final sales price including VAT

Optional Information:

Shop Selection: Choose which shop the product should appear under (if you operate multiple shops)

Accounting Category: Assign the correct accounting category

Product Description: Add helpful information for staff during service. This description will appear in the Superb POS app when a product is long-pressed (held for more than one second). Examples include allergen info for food or tasting notes and pairings for wines.

To-Go Pricing: If a product has a different price for takeaway (e.g., coffee), you can add a To-Go price. Note that the cost price remains the same.

Add-Ons: For products with customisations (e.g., a burger with an extra patty), you can create each add-on as a separate product and tick the "Add-on" checkbox.

• You’ll need to give the add-on a name and a SKU – all other fields are optional.
• This allows you to assign the add-on to products via the "Add-on Products" folder.

Colour coding and images: You can give your products a colour or insert an image edit button or on the colour edit button.
