Set up Embedded Barcodes

Learn how to set embed and use barcodes with the Eats365 POS.

Embedded Barcodes are scannable labels that contain an Item’s information. This information can be generated with a Label Printing Scale, which weighs Items and prints out barcodes containing details about the Item’s price or quantity. In this article, you’ll learn the components of a barcode and how to set up Embedded Barcodes.

Delete

Important: To scan Embedded Barcodes, a Barcode Scanner must be connected to the POS terminal.

Embedded Barcode Information

Type

Eats365 supports the following Embedded Barcode types:

  • EAN-13 - Contains 13 digits. The first two digits can be 02 or 20.
  • UPC-A - Contains 12 digits. The first digit is 2.

Structure

EAN-13 and UPC-A Embedded Barcodes use the following layouts:

  • Prefix determines the type of barcode.
  • Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) is the unique number that is assigned to menu Items.
    Tip: For instructions on how to set up a menu Item, refer to Set up and manage a Single Item.
  • Weight (Quantity) is the weight in grams or quantity amount generated by a Label Printing Scale.
  • Checksum is a system-generated number that validates a barcode’s integrity.

Before you begin

To properly use Embedded Barcodes, make sure to assign the correct permissions to the appropriate roles and configure menu Items with the preferred pricing methods.

Grant staff permissions

To allow Embedded Barcodes for specific roles, follow the steps below:

  1. On the POS terminal, log in to the Eats365 POS.
  2. At the top left, tap Settings .
  3. Under Users and Permissions, tap Role Permission, then select the role you’d like to allow to manage embedded barcodes for the POS.
  4. Under Settings Permission, turn on Embedded Barcode .
  5. At the top right, tap Update to confirm.

Configure Item pricing methods

To set a menu Item’s price by weight or by unit price, follow the steps below:

  1. On the POS terminal, log in to the Eats365 POS.
  2. At the top left, tap Settings .
  3. Under General, tap Menu Setup. Then, tap Item.
  4. To modify an existing menu Item, tap a menu Item that you’d like to modify. To create a new menu Item, at the top right, tap Add Item.
  5. Ensure that the menu Item follows a 5-digit minimum Product Code (SKU).
  6. Under Availability & Price, tap the Pricing Method drop-down.
  7. Choose from the following Embedded Barcode options:
    • Priced by embedded barcode  (weight)
    • Priced by embedded barcode (price)
      Note: Leaving Unit Price off  prevents the Unit of Measurement and Unit Price options from appearing.
  8. Set the Unit of Measurement, followed by its base value.
  9. Set the Unit Price for Dine-In and Takeout.
  10. If you’re modifying an existing menu Item, at the top right, tap Update to confirm. If you’re creating a new menu Item, at the top right, tap Save to confirm.

Enable Embedded Barcodes

To enable Embedded Barcodes, follow the steps below:

  1. On the POS terminal, log in to the Eats365 POS.
  2. At the top left, tap Settings .
  3. Under Advanced Settings, tap Barcode Configuration. Then, turn on Enable Embedded Barcode .
  4. Based on your restaurant operations, you can enable the following Embedded Barcode options:
    • Embedded Barcode in Weight
    • Embedded Barcode in Price
  5. If the Label Printing Scale generates barcodes that include Delimiters, turn on Has delimiter .
    Note: Some Label Printing Scales use delimiters when generating barcodes. Delimiters disregard the first numerical value for Weight (Quantity). For example, weight with the value 19502 can be represented by:
    • No delimiter: 19502
    • Has delimiter: 9502
      Refer to the Label Printing Scale’s settings or contact the manufacturer to confirm if delimiters are being used.
  6. Choose the rounding method by tapping on the Round to the Nearest drop-down. The rounding method moves the decimal point to the left. For example, the options to Round to the Nearest:
    • 1 = 19,502
    • 0.1 = 1,950.2
    • 0.01 = 195.02
    • 0.001 = 19.502
  7. Tap Back  to return to the previous screen.
  8. At the top right, tap Save to confirm.

Once Embedded Barcodes have been configured, you can use a Barcode Scanner attached to the POS terminal to scan menu Item’s barcodes.
