Items

Manage a cinema's concession and retail items — single items, parents, packages, recipes, and components.

In Reach Head Office: Open this page

The All Items screen lists the sellable and stock items for the selected cinema. Open any item to edit its details, pricing, and where it can be sold. To create items across the whole circuit at once, use HO Items instead.

Before you start

  • Choose a cinema with the cinema selector — the item list is scoped to it.
  • Item classes, groups, and units of measure are supplied by Reach and chosen on the form.
  • Items sold on POS/kiosk/online rely on the correct item source being selected.

How to view items

  1. Open Items → All Items.
  2. Select a cinema.
  3. Search and sort the table (sortable by Name).
