Note: As a best practice, creating or editing Display Groups should be performed outside of business hours or during non-peak times, when the POS is not actively being used for order entry or ticket creation.

Set Up Display Groups in Lighthouse Business Manager (LBM)

Display Groups allow merchants to organize menu items in SkyTab POS, making order entry faster and more intuitive. Menu items can belong to multiple Groups simultaneously.

Note: Display Groups do not replace Departments. You can still use Departments alongside Groups.

Log in and Access Display Groups

Note: Groups can only be configured in LBM. They are not editable on SkyTab POS.

1. Log in to LBM.
2. Navigate to SkyTab Settings > Menu > Display Groups. This screen displays your existing Groups.
