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

1. **Open the Designer**
   Log into your Fusion Signage account and navigate to the Designer.
2. **Add the menu widget**
   In your design, click Dynamic Widgets in the left panel.
   Select Menu → Redcat
3. **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:
     - Header
     - Image
     - Description
     - Kilojoules
     - Price
     - Out of Stock indicator
4. **Multiple widgets**
   To display multiple menu items, copy and paste the widget. This allows customisation of position, font, and colour individually.
5. **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.

## Metadata and menu widget for multiple locations

To avoid creating separate designs for each location, use metadata.

1. 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.
2. 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.
