# 🍱 Create Menu Products

## Use products to build your online menu. Each product sits in a category, has a price, optional image, and key attributes like allergens and calories.

### **How to create a product**

#### **Step 1:** Login as admin on your **<https://controls.slerp.com/>[Controls](https://controls.slerp.com/)  →** [**Products**](https://controls.slerp.com/products/).

#### **Step 2:** Click **Add** (top left).

#### **Step 3:** Enter the **Product name**.

#### **Step 4:** Review the automatically generated **SKU**:

- **SKU**: internal Slerp product code.
- **PLU**: only needed if you use a POS integration (e.g. Deliverect).

#### **Step 5:** (Optional) Add a clear **Product description** – keep it short and informative (ingredients, portion size, key selling points).

#### **Step 6:** Choose a **Category** (or create a new one) so this product appears in the right section of your menu.

#### **Step 7:** Upload a **Product image** (recommended).

For information about product images, see:

[🖼️ Images and Visual Assets](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/images-and-visual-assets?hsLang=en).

#### **Step 8:** Enter the **Price (incl. VAT)** and **VAT %**.

- Slerp automatically calculates the price **excluding VAT**.

#### **Step 9:** (Optional) Add **Calories (kcal)** if required.

#### **Step 10:** Add relevant **Allergens** using the allergen dropdown so they display correctly online.

For more detailed guide, see:

[Allergen Tagging and Listing](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/allergen-tagging-and-listing?hsLang=en)

#### **Step 11:** Configure any additional options as needed:

- **Featured product** – add this item to your Featured Category (if enabled).
- **Order limit** – cap how many units a customer can order per transaction (e.g. 2 per order).
- **Dimensions** – helpful for logistics (e.g. courier size limits).
- **Alcoholic** – flag products that contain alcohol.

#### **Step 12:** Click **Add product** to save.
