Back Office Tags in the Restaurant Solution

Tags are a way to group items for things such as promotions. Tags can include departments, categories, items, and items with variations, which are referred to as objects in this guide. When you configure a promotion, tags identify the items required for a promotion to apply. You can also assign a department, category, item, or item with variation to a tag at the specific object page. For multi-site locations, you can only create and edit tags at the company–level. Tags are read-only at the store level. 

Before you configure a promotion, you must first create a tag. Tag creation and editing occurs in the Back Office and requires the appropriate user access level. You can create a tag at the Tags page or when creating a promotion. 

Other important information regarding tags:

• You can have multiple tags.
• A department, category, item, or item with variation can belong to different tags.
• When you assign a department or a category to a tag, all items belonging to the department or category belong to the tag.
• You cannot create tags in the Point of Sale app.
• The Item Import function does not support tag assignment.
• The Edit Multiple Items function does not support tag assignment.
• If a promotion uses a tag, you cannot delete the tag.
