Steps
- Open Admin. Open the drawer and tap Admin.
- Scroll to Tools. Find the Tools section at the bottom of the Admin screen.
- Tap Add Demo Data. Tap the Add Demo Data tile (Fill the app with sample data).
- Confirm. Read Add demo data? and tap Add demo data.
- Wait for the sync. Preparing your demo data… stays on screen while the menu is built and synced. Leave the app open; it can take up to three minutes.
- Practise on the POS. You return to the POS with the sample categories and products. Ring a few sales, hold an order and try a payment.
Before you use demo data
Demo products go into your real account, not a separate sandbox. Sales you ring against them are recorded like any other sale, so remove the demo data before you open for business. If you have already started adding your own products, demo items sit alongside them.
Adding demo data needs an internet connection, and your role needs the Demo Data permission. Without it, the tile asks for an Admin or Manager password.
Frequently asked questions
How long does Add Demo Data take?
Usually under a minute, but the app allows up to three minutes for the server to build the sample menu and for the full sync to finish. Keep the app open and connected until you're back on the POS screen.
Will demo data mix with my own products?
Yes, if you already have products. The demo items are added to your catalogue alongside them. Remove Demo Data deletes only the sample items, so you can practise and then clear them before going live.
