Redcat menu widget
After connecting your Redcat account, you can start using the Redcat menu widget within the Fusion Signage Designer to display dynamic menu content linked to your POS system.
How to use
- Open the Designer Log into your Fusion Signage account and navigate to the Designer.
- Add the menu widget In your design, click Dynamic Widgets in the left panel. Select Menu → Redcat
- Configure the widget Once added to your canvas, set up the widget options.
- Location: select the store location (connects the widget to the correct Redcat store). Please note: if using screen metadata for location, this field is ignored. Any location can be selected.
- Sales type: choose the pricing table from Redcat. Please note: if using screen metadata for sales type, this is ignored.
- Item: pick the menu item to display.
- Fields: select which menu fields to show (see mapping below):
- Header
- Image
- Description
- Kilojoules
- Price
- Out of Stock indicator
- Multiple widgets To display multiple menu items, copy and paste the widget. This allows customisation of position, font, and colour individually.
- Out of stock configuration Set how out of stock items appear (text or image). Usually, set as a separate widget for clarity.
Handy hint: once a widget is configured, copy and paste it for other menu items or select multiple and duplicate for efficiency.
Redcat Mapping
We map the following fields to our Widget from Redcat:
Fusion Widget Name | Redcat V1 Mapping | Redcat V2/MIM Mapping |
|---|---|---|
Header | Long Name | Display Name |
Description | Description | item_info |
KJ | KJ | KJ |
Image URL | Image URL | Image URL |
Price | Price | Price |
Metadata and menu widget for multiple locations
To avoid creating separate designs for each location, use metadata. Metadata allows you to create one design, and publish it to hundreds of screens and have each screen display location specific pricing. We allow you to set a metadata field on each screen which will override the dropdown on the widget for Store ID and Sales Type ID. The product PLU will remain the same, so long as the product exists at that site it will display the correct pricing.
- Configure metadata per screen
- Go to Deploy → Select screen → Configure screen.
- Enter Redcat Store ID and Redcat Sales Type ID specific to each store.
- Repeat for all relevant screens.
- Deploy a single design with Redcat menu widgets set up. The location and sales type will automatically update based on metadata, ensuring correct pricing for each store and lane.
Please note: if the metadata section isn't visible, create and save a design with the Redcat widget first, then change the settings.
