Creating and Using Tags in NX Restaurant

Tags in NX Restaurant allow you to label menu items with useful descriptors such as Vegetarian, Spicy, Gluten-Free, or Chef’s Special. These tags can appear in multiple areas, including the POS, guest-facing displays, and online ordering platforms, helping both staff and customers easily identify item attributes.

Where Tags Appear

Tags can be displayed:

• On the POS under item details.
• On rear-facing displays.
• On guest-facing areas, including:
  • Online ordering sites
  • Menu boards
  • Kiosks 

How to Set Up a Tag

To create a new tag:

1. In the NX Restaurant Portal, navigate to Configuration > Tags.
2. Click the + New button at the bottom of the list.
3. In the Tag Settings section, configure the following:
   • Name: Enter the tag name (e.g., Vegetarian). This name is shown across all relevant interfaces.
   • Button Color: Choose the background color for the tag (using a color picker or HEX code).
   • Text Color: Set the color of the text that appears on the tag.
   • Icon (optional): Select an icon from the dropdown if you want to display one alongside the tag name.
4. Click Save.

Applying Tags to Menu Items

Once tags are created, you can assign one or more to any menu item:

1. Navigate to Configuration > Menus > Items.
2. Select an item and go to the General tab.
3. Choose the relevant tags from the available list.
4. Save the menu item.

Best Practices

• Keep tag names short and easily recognizable.
• Use distinct colors for visual clarity.
• Avoid assigning too many tags to a single item, as this can cause clutter on guest-facing views.
