If you’ve ever tried to push a simple price change across a group of venues, you’ll know it’s rarely simple. Let’s pretend the price of coffee has to go up 20 cents. Now you have to log into the POS, then Uber Eats, then DoorDash, and then start the whole routine again for venue two, three and four.
One small tweak becomes a dozen logins, multiple changes and then there’s a good chance at least one update gets missed along the way.
But this is exactly the scenario that our POSync and Menu Manager features were built to handle. Both keep your delivery menus in step and suit different kinds of venue setups. Here’s how to work out which one belongs in your venue.
What is POSync? The single source of truth for menu management.
POSync is built around one simple idea: your POS should be the boss. Build your menu once in Lightspeed or Square and Doshii pushes it out to every connected delivery app in real time. Categories, items, prices, images and availability all flow straight from the POS, so you only have one delivery menu to manage.
When something sells out mid-service, you mark it off in your POS the way you already do, and it updates across Uber Eats, DoorDash and Chewzie at the same moment. No tablets or double-handling, just a whole lot of hassle off your plate.
Then there’s the added bonus of margin protection built in too
We all know delivery apps take a commission on every order, so POSync allows you to apply an automatic percentage mark-up to your online ordering apps and menus. Your in-venue prices stay put, and you don’t need a second menu in the POS to make it happen *chef’s kiss*.
Why POSync suits groups running multiple venues
Do you want to know where POSync really shines? With one menu build syncing across every site, a change made once is a change made everywhere. No per-venue, per-app updating, and no ops manager chasing eight venue managers on a Friday afternoon. POSync works for a venue of any size, but the time it saves grows with every site you add, which is why we encourage groups here first.
Setup is quick too because POSync uses menus you’ve already built. To put that into perspective, a venue can be live in as little as ten minutes.
What POS systems does Doshii’s POSync support
POSync currently supports Lightspeed and Square. If you’re using either, you can manage your menu from your POS and keep your online ordering apps in sync.
Don’t have Lightspeed or Square? Don’t worry. Learn more about Doshii’s Menu Manager below.
What is Menu Manager?
Menu Manager gives you one place inside your Doshii dashboard to update dishes, pricing and availability across all your connected delivery apps. Simply make the change once in Doshii, hit save, and it flows out to every app.
Where Menu Manager differs from POSync is where you manage your menu. With POSync, your Lightspeed or Square POS is the source of truth, so menu, pricing and availability updates made in your POS sync across to your connected delivery apps. With Menu Manager, you build and manage your online menu directly in Doshii, giving you control over your delivery menu without needing to make those changes in your POS.
Menu Manager works with any POS Doshii connects to, and it supports Virtual Brands, so one kitchen can run multiple delivery-only concepts from a single screen.
Which POS systems work with Menu Manager?
Doshii already talks to POS including Lightspeed, Square, Impos, H&L, Bepoz, Oolio, Idealpos, OrderMate, SwiftPOS and more, plus a broader range of delivery and online ordering apps than POSync.
