Configure SLU Group

A screen look up (SLU) is a button that gives workstation operators access to a list of items, except the workstation shows each item in the list as a separate touchscreen button. When a workstation operator presses a menu item SLU (for example, sandwiches), the workstation shows all menu items belonging to that SLU. You can assign each menu item master record to a maximum of 8 different SLUs.

The SLU names appear in various colors on workstation, automatically allocated by the application.

  1. Select the Enterprise, property, or revenue center, click Descriptors, and then click Menu Item SLU Names.
  2. Enter names for menu item screen look ups in the Text column.

    There is no sort priority; the SLU names appear on the workstation screen in number order. Set up the SLU group names with plenty of space between the numbers to provide flexibility when adding more.

    This figure shows the Menu Item SLU Names module with numerous SLU names listed in the Text column. The adjacent picture shows a workstation with the same SLU names shown on the Transaction page.
