2. Create a new product and define the settings
1. Information about Products
Once the product groups have been created, it's time to add products. This article guides you through the process of creating products and making the necessary configurations. If agreed separately, Taitori team will import the products during the implementation according to the provided product Excel sheet, leaving only the final touches to be completed by the administrator. After creation, the products will not be automatically available for sale; they need to be published separately in the sales catalog for end-users to purchase. This allows for the preparation of seasonal products well in advance before their actual release.
Products are added to the previously created product groups. Below is an example of Taitori Café's breakfast products in the Taitori application (see Image 1). Each product is given a name, description, image, and price. Additionally, each product has specific ordering settings (e.g., the deadline for placing an order before the delivery time). It is also possible to include allergens and ingredients for each product, which users can view by clicking on the product on Taitori App.
Further down in Image 2, you can see an individual sample product with its product details open, requesting additional clarification from the customer.

5. Product price changes
If a product's price changes, you can directly modify the price or schedule the price change. You can also define your own price for, for example, seasonal periods. The price change is scheduled according to the delivery time. The price change does not affect orders made before the price change.

- Click on the title of the product whose price you want to change.
- Click Change to make changes and then open Product pricing.
- Make the desired changes to the price:
A. If you want the new price to take effect immediately, you can directly change the old price to the new one. The price change does not affect orders already placed.
B. If you want to schedule a permanent price change, define an end date for the old price. Then, for the new price, create a new row using the Add a new price button and specify a start date, which is the first day when the new price is valid. The price is determined according to the delivery time. The price change does not affect orders already placed.
C. If you want to set own prices, for example, for seasonal periods, you can leave the old price unchanged. Create a new row for the seasonal price using the Add a new price button and specify start and end dates. The price is determined according to the delivery time. The price change does not affect orders already placed. - Finally, save the changes from the top left corner.
