How does the integration work?
Stock updates in real time. When you connect Genius, Live Tap Lists subscribes to Genius stock updates, so when an item’s stock changes, its availability on your menus changes right away. Sold-out items come off your menus without anyone touching a screen.
When you connect your Genius account, Live Tap Lists pulls the item information from your POS catalog. It syncs automatically every 24 hours, or you can click Sync w/ POS to sync the information immediately.
Watch: how to connect with Genius
Setup
- Connect your Live Tap Lists account to your Genius account from the Integrations page.
- Live Tap Lists pulls your Genius catalog. Choose which Genius fields sync for each item.
- Add any extra details to new items, then set them to active so they appear on your menus.
- After changing items in Genius, click Sync w/ POS to bring them in right away.
How POS syncing works
These behaviors are the same for every Live Tap Lists POS integration.
- Per-field control. For each item you choose which fields sync from your POS. Overriding a field in Live Tap Lists stops that field from syncing.
- New items arrive inactive. New POS items come in as inactive, so nothing appears on a menu by accident.
- Disconnecting keeps your menu. All menu items stay in Live Tap Lists. Reconnecting pulls the full catalog again.
- Need another POS? Request your POS.
Genius integration FAQ
Does Live Tap Lists work with Heartland POS?
Yes. Heartland's restaurant POS is now called Genius. Connect it from the Integrations page in Live Tap Lists the same way, and your menu catalog syncs every 24 hours or on demand with Sync w/ POS.
What does the Genius integration do?
It synchronizes your Genius item catalog with Live Tap Lists, so your digital menu boards, print menus, website menus, and QR menus are built from your POS data.
Which fields sync from Genius?
Live Tap Lists pulls these fields from Genius: Item name, images, descriptions, sizes/variants, prices, tags, attributes, categories.
How often does Genius sync?
Stock changes sync in real time: when an item's stock changes in Genius, its availability updates in Live Tap Lists. The full catalog, including names, prices, and descriptions, syncs automatically every 24 hours, or immediately when you click Sync w/ POS.
What if I have values in Genius that I do not want on my menus?
You can choose which fields sync from Genius for each item. For example, if a name in Genius is not customer-friendly, you can override it in Live Tap Lists and it will no longer pull from Genius.
How do I add a new menu item after I connect?
New items are pulled in automatically when they are created. They arrive as inactive so nothing appears on a menu by accident. Add any extra information in Live Tap Lists, then set the item to active to show it on your menus.
How do I stop getting updates from Genius but keep my menu items?
Disconnect from Genius on the Integrations page. Your menu items stay in your Live Tap Lists account and you can keep using them freely.
What do I do if I do not see my updates?
First verify that the item and variant you are updating are available at the location you connected. Next, disconnect and reconnect from Genius on the Integrations page. Disconnecting does not remove items, so your menus keep working with no interruption. Reconnecting pulls the entire catalog from Genius again. If problems persist, email grant@livetaplists.com.
Does Live Tap Lists integrate with other point of sale systems?
