Save time and effort adding new items by duplicating and editing an existing item or modifier.

Duplicating existing items allows merchants to quickly build their menu without having to build individual items and items with modifiers from scratch.

For example, a merchant creating a new Angus Burger in Exatouch wants it to retain the same modifiers as other burgers on the menu. This can be accomplished by using the Duplicate button under Item Details.Duplicate button highlighted on item details screen

  1. From Home, navigate to Items > Item List.Items module highlighted with arrow leading to item list submodule
  2. Select an item to duplicate from the Item List screen.All american burger highlighted on item list screen

Additional Considerations

  • SKU and Alternate SKU fields display as blank when duplicating an item.
  • Other fields possibly requiring adjustment include the following:
    • Vendor Name and Part Number fields
    • Stock Locations and Inventory fields
    • Promo, Sale, and Discount settings

Duplicating Modifiers

Duplicating modifiers also helps merchants save time when creating a menu or expanding a menu in Exatouch. For example, a merchant can add Cajun Fries as an optional side for all entrees that already offer Onion Rings as a side.

  1. From the Item List screen, select a modifier to duplicate.Onion rings highlighted on items list screen

  3. Perform the following:
    1. Enter a new SKU number.
    2. In the Item Name field, enter a name for the new modifier (e.g., Cajun Fries).
    3. Enter a new price, if necessary.
    4. Tap Save.Duplicate button highlighted on item details screen
  4. Check Your Work: Navigate to the Register app and enter an item. The item’s newly duplicated modifier displays in the Sides column.Cajun fries highlighted on modifiers screen of register app
