Point of Sale setup guide
Estimated setup time: 20–30 min
Before you start
  • A venue created in your NUA account (name, address, ABN, trading hours)
  • Menu items ready to import, as a spreadsheet, PDF, or your old POS's export
  • Payment provider details for the terminal you'll be linking
Setup steps
  1. 1

    Create your venue profile

    Add trading hours, table/counter layout and tax settings (GST is pre-filled for AU venues) under Settings → Venue.

  2. 2

    Import your menu

    Upload a spreadsheet or PDF via Menu → Import, or forward it to your onboarding contact. NUA maps categories, modifiers and prices automatically and flags anything it isn't sure about for you to confirm.

  3. 3

    Set modifiers and combos

    Review auto-detected modifier groups (sizes, add-ons, dietary tags) and combo/set-menu pricing before going live.

  4. 4

    Connect a payment terminal

    Pair your terminal under Settings → Payments. NUA supports tap, chip and split-bill payments out of the box.

  5. 5

    Assign staff PINs and roles

    Add each staff member under Staff → Team and set a POS PIN and permission level (cashier, floor, manager).

  6. 6

    Run a test order

    Place a $0.01 test sale end-to-end, refund it, and confirm the receipt and payment settlement both look right before opening to real guests.

Tips
  • Import your menu at least 48 hours before going live so you have time to sanity-check pricing and modifiers.
  • Group modifiers logically (Size, then Add-ons, then Notes) — it's what NUA's Voice POS and KDS both read from.
  • Set 86'd items from the POS screen; they sync to the Kitchen Display and online ordering instantly.
Troubleshooting
  • A menu item imported with the wrong price or category.
    Edit it directly under Menu → Items; changes apply immediately, no re-import needed.
  • Terminal won't pair.
    Confirm the terminal and POS are on the same network, then retry pairing from Settings → Payments → Add Terminal.
  • A staff PIN isn't working.
    Check the staff member's role hasn't been set to inactive under Staff → Team.
