Products

Odoo’s Lunch app does not come with any products preconfigured. The individual products being offered must first be configured before orders can be placed.

To add and configure products for the Lunch app, navigate to Lunch app ‣ Configuration ‣ Products. Next, click the New button in the top-left corner, and a blank product form loads.

Enter the following information on the form:

• Product Name: enter the name for the product. This field is required.

• Product Category: using the drop-down menu, select the category this product falls under. This field is required.

• Vendor: using the drop-down menu, select the vendor that supplies this product. This field is required.

• Price: enter the price for the product. The currency is determined by the company’s localization.

• Description: enter a description of the product in this field. This description appears beneath the product photo when users are viewing the day’s options.

• New Until: using the calendar popover, select the date on which the product is no longer labeled as new. Until this date, a green New tag appears on the product.

• Company: if the product should only be available to a specific company, select it from the drop-down menu. If this field is left blank, this product is available for all companies in the database.

• Image: hover over the image box in the top-right corner of the form, and click the (pencil) icon that appears. A file explorer pop-up window appears. Navigate to the image, then click Open.

Product categories

Product categories organize the offerings in the Lunch app, and allows users to quickly filter them when reviewing the menu for the day.

To add or modify categories, navigate to Lunch app ‣ Configuration: Product Categories. The available categories appear in a list view.

In the Lunch app, there are four default categories: Sandwich, Pizza, Burger, and Drinks.

To add a new category, click the New button in the top-left corner, and a blank category form loads.

Enter a name in the Product Category field. If the category is company-specific and should only appear for a certain company, select the Company from the drop-down menu.

If desired, add a photo for the category. Hover over the image box in the top-right, and click the (pencil) icon that appears. This opens a file explorer pop-up window. Navigate to the image, then click Open.
