Catalogs: Creating Products
How to create a product?
Creating products is the first step to building your catalog in Last.app. This guide walks you through the process step by step and explains each field to help you make the most of the platform.
Step 1: Add a Product
Go to LastAdmin | Products and click “Add Product”. A configuration panel will open on the right-hand side.
Step 2: Fill in Product Information
To create a product, you only need a name and a price. However, we recommend completing additional fields to manage it more effectively in your restaurant.
Main Fields
Name: How the product will appear in the POS, Last Shop, and integrated platforms.
Kitchen Name: Only shown on kitchen tickets. Useful when the commercial name is too long (e.g., use “Herb Loin” instead of “Beef Loin with Fine Herbs”).
Short Name: Appears in the POS when the product has no image. You can edit this (max. 3 characters).
Price: Base price of the product.
Tax Information
Tax Category: Defines the VAT rate. By default, it's set to 10% (7% in the Canary Islands), but you can change it if you're selling items with different VAT types (e.g., alcohol or staple goods).
Other applicable VAT rates (for delivery/takeaway orders) include:
- Alcohol – 21%
- Basic Goods – 2%
- Super Reduced – 7.5%
- Beverages – 10%
- Food – 10%
POS Appearance
Color: Shown if the product has no image. Also visible in the catalog and product list in the admin panel.
Image: Visible in the POS, Last Shop, and integrated platforms. Note: Some platforms may not support images.
Organization & Operations
Course: Classifies the product (starter, main course, dessert, drink, etc.). Categories can be customized.
This feature helps organize orders in the POS and is especially useful if you use a step-by-step menu or kitchen notes.
Description: Shown in Last Shop and other connected platforms.
Allergens & Specifications: Displayed in Last Shop (not supported by all external platforms).
Modifier Groups: Link to extra options like “no onions” or “extra cheese.”
Printing & Availability
Printer: Assign to a specific printer if needed (e.g., bar instead of kitchen).
Copies: Number of copies printed when ordered (default is 1).
Control Printer: If enabled, the item will appear on the control ticket (can be disabled).
Availability Schedule: Show the product only on specific days or times (ideal for lunch menus or timed promotions).
Step 3: Save and Activate
Click “Save.” The product will now appear in the list but won’t be active yet. To finish setup:
Toggle the activation switch for the product.
Add it to the appropriate catalog so it appears in the POS, Last Shop, or integrated delivery platforms.
