The Aloha POS system allows you to add an image of the menu item on the FOH Recipe Information screen and to provide your employees an instructional video on how to prepare the item; however, to make an image file or instructional video available for use in the system, you must first upload the image and video files using Maintenance > System Settings > Media Files.

To make an image or video file for a recipe available for use:

• Select Maintenance > System Settings > Media Files.
• Click the New drop-down arrow, select Aloha Point-of-Sale, and click OK.
• Accept the system assigned number or click the ellipsis (...) next to 'Number' to display the Number Assignment dialog box, from which you can choose an alternate number.
  
• Type a name to help you identify the image file or instructional video. For example, 'Vesper Martini.'
• Select the file type from the drop-down list. For example, BMP (image file) or AVI (instructional video).
• Click the ellipsis (...) to browse to and select the image file or instructional video for the recipe from the directory in which you have it saved. The system defaults to the BMP directory.
• Select the Preview tab to preview the image, if necessary.
  
• Click Save.
• Repeat this procedure for any other menu items for which you want to make an image file and instructional video available for use.
• Exit the Media Files function.
