Switch without retyping your menu
The biggest thing holding venues back from changing POS systems is the fear of re-entering the menu, recipe cards and guest database. Hundreds of items, recipes with exact gram weights, regulars' bonuses: all of it has built up in Poster over the years. In Goovii, migration from Poster is done in the dashboard with an access key, with no spreadsheets and no manual work.
What gets migrated
- Menu and recipe cards: products, dishes with recipes and semi-finished items.
- Ingredients and stock: ingredients together with their quantities in stock.
- Guests, groups and bonuses: your customer base with accumulated bonuses, so your regulars lose nothing.
You choose exactly what to migrate and which Poster location to take prices from. The currency stays the same, so prices are carried over without conversion.
Poster stays untouched
Goovii only reads data from Poster and changes nothing in it. You can keep working in Poster while you set up Goovii and switch over whenever it suits you.
You can run it again
You can run the migration again. Anything already migrated won't be duplicated, and only new data is added. After each run you get a report showing what was created, what already existed and was skipped, and what couldn't be migrated and why.
How to get the key
In Poster, open "Access" → "Integrations" → "Personal integration" and copy the access key. In the Goovii dashboard, go to "Migrating from Poster", paste the key and click "Check". The system will show you what it found. For more on the switchover process, see the article "How to switch from Poster to Goovii without shutting down your venue".
After the move
Your migrated menu works right away on the POS, in inventory management and on your venue website, and the PRRO (software cash register) is already built into the POS.
