Item screens are containers for your Sales Items. They are the basis of how Sales Items will be structured at the POS.
Very often, the item screen's descriptions will be similar to divisions that were created earlier. However, they are not to be confused as their function is not the same. The general idea is to use item screens to group sales items by theme.
Starters
Soups
Salads
Burgers
Sandwiches
Choice of sauce
Choice of cook type
Choice of sides

Enable this option to use "Beat the Clock" promotions, where an item price starts at a discounted price and then steadily increases as time goes on. This is designed to encourage customers to purchase this item before the price increases, hence "Beat the Clock".
Select the start time and end time of the Beat the Clock promotion.
Set the price of the item at the start of the Beat the Clock promotion. The start price is normally heavily discounted compared to the regular sale price.
Select by how much the item's price will increase at each Beat the Clock interval. For instance, if you enter $1.00 in this field, the price would increase by $1.00 at every interval defined in the Minutes per Variance field, until the end of the promotion is reached. The Variance and Minutes per Variance are typically calculated so the price of the item near the end of the promotion is close to its regular sale price.
Select how long, in minutes, each Beat the Clock interval lasts. For instance, if you enter 30 in this field, the price will increase by the amount set in the Variance field every half-hour.
Configure the regular sale price of this item.
...
Enable this option to copy the regular price to all modes and price levels displayed in the Prices section. Disable this option to configure custom prices for each mode and price level.

...
Enter how long, in seconds, the item should be held before being printed on requisition (kitchen) printers or kitchen monitors. Use this feature to synchronize the preparation time of items.
Use this section to set different item prices based on the quantity ordered. For instance, donuts can have a price when sold individually, a discounted price when 6 or more are sold, and an even better price when 12 or more are sold together.
Enable the checkbox next to each line to activate it. Enter the quantity of items to be ordered for the special price to apply, and type the discounted price in the field to the right. The discounted price will apply if the quantity of items ordered is equal or greater than the value entered in the Qty field.
This section contains modes arranged by lines and price levels arranged in columns. Custom prices can be configured for each mode / price level combination, for a total of 16 possible combinations.
The 4 modes are arranged in 4 lines. Modes are configured in the Point of Sale Control module > Invoice Menu > Modes... Make sure that the Copy if changed option is disabled if you want to configure custom prices. If the Copy if changed option is enabled, modes will all receive the price configured in the Regular Price field.
The 4 Price Levels are arranged in 4 columns. Price Levels are configured in the Setup / Utilities Module > System Config > Configuration. Make sure that the Copy if changed option is disabled if you want to configure custom prices. If the Copy if changed option is enabled, Price Levels will all receive the price configured in the Regular Price field.

Sales items are the "Base units" of the Veloce system. Each item listed on the menu, each side dish, remarks or modifiers needs to have a corresponding sales item in Veloce.
Before creating Sales Items in Veloce, other elements need to be put in place:
Price Levels (Optional)
Modes (Optional)
The following instructions show how to create a basic sales item. Some of the available options will be discussed in more advanced topics.

The options in this section will determine the behaviour of the POS system when this item is ordered.
Forced remarks are used to assign an item screen to force the selection of an included item, such as a choice of sides, choice of a salad dressing or the cooking temperature for a steak.
Click on the drop-down list to select the item screen to be used for each forced remark. To disable a forced remark, select Nul from the list. Up to 5 forced remarks can be assigned per item. Only one choice can be selected for each forced remark.
Leaving this option unchecked will make the choice mandatory. For instance, when ordering a steak, selecting a cooking temprature should be mandatory. Therefore, the Mod option would be left disabled. Enabling the Mod option will allow the user to exit the item screen without making a selection.
Popups are similar to forced remarks. The main difference is that Popups allows the user to select up to 10 modifiers from the list that will appear on the POS screen, while forced remarks only allow one. Also, instead of using existing item screens, Popups require purpose-built Popup Windows, which are created in Point of Sales Control > Sales > Popup Windows... Popups are commonly used for any item that can be customized by the customer, such as hamburgers, sandwiches, ice cream sundaes, etc.
Click on the drop-down list to select the Popup Window to be used for each Popup. To disable a Popup, select Nul from the list. Up to 2 Popups can be assigned per item. Up to 10 choices can be selected for each Popup.
If this option is disabled, the Popup will automatically appear when the item is ordered and force the user to select at least one option from it. If this option is enabled, the popup will be called manually after ordering the item, and the user will be allowed to exit without making a selection.
This section is used to select where the item will print, on requisition printers or kitchen monitors. Before configuring this section, it is recommended to configure logical printers within redirection tables, in Point of sale control > Workstation > Redirection Tables...
From the drop-down list, select to which logical printer this item will print. Up to 7 distinct printouts can be selected.
Enable this option so that remarks can be printed on a different printer than their parent item. Disable this option so that remarks print on the same printer as their parent item.
This option will become available only if Enforce these printouts even if this is a remark is also enabled. Without enabling this option, items ordered as remarks will always print along with their parent items in addition to the printouts listed here. Enabling this option will force the remarks to print only on the printers selected here.
Remarks by quantity is used to offer different prices based on the ordered quantity of this item. To use this feature, Remarks by quantity price tables need to be created in Point of Sales Control > Sales > Remarks by quantity price tables...
One Remarks by quantity price table can be selected for each price level. First, enable the checkbox next to the price level to be used, then select the appropriate Remarks by quantity price table from the drop-down list.
