Using Meal Units (Nōwn POS) - Setting Meal Equivalency and Meal Exchange for items
- Log into Nōwn and go to the Products Tab
- Create a new item or edit an existing item, once you do this a new module will appear with information about the item.
- Scroll down and expand the Advanced Settings field.

Enable meal equivalency and meal exchange for each item as required.
Note: Meal Equivalency means trading a meal unit for a dollar value. Example, $10 = 1 meal unit. If you bought 5 items that are all meal equivalency eligible and the basket size was $10, the patron would pay for it with one meal unit.
Meal exchange means trading one item for a meal unit in a direct swap.
In Nōwn all you would do is set which items are eligible for each respective meal tender. The meal equivalency would have been configured already in FIIT if this location was previously active. If this is a brand new location you may configure meal equivalency as per the following instructions.
