Scale PLUs
Some of your menu items may be registered by the pound or kilogram, rather than by
unit. For example, you may have a salad bar priced by the pound. Or, your restaurant
may sell bulk candy by the pound. If your restaurant offers any type of "bulk" item, it can
be set up to accept a scale entry. This type of PLU is called a Scale PLU and the cost is
determined by weight. Scale PLUs can be open or preset, depending upon programming.
Refer to the explanation for the type of item you are registering.
Open Scale PLU
For some scale items, the price per pound or kilogram may vary. For example, you may
have several different types of candy that are sold by the pound. The price varies from
one type to another. After you place the candy on the scale, you specify its base price to
complete entry.
For open scale PLUs, place the item on the scale. When the scale has settled, press
SCALE. The weight displays at the lower right corner of the screen. Enter the base price
(the price per pound or kilogram) of the item and press the open PLU key. In the
following example, "Candy" is the open PLU key.
