4.2 Key Mapping Strategy

Prioritize frequently used items on easily reachable keys (home row, top-left for right-handed users)
Group related items by category and color-code overlays
Reserve function keys for error recovery and managerial actions
Use shift or modifier keys for expanded functionality rather than overcrowding the layout

Critical Note on “Exclusive”

Many third-party templates are "one-size-fits-all." An exclusive template is made specifically for your PLU file. For example, if your PLU #101 is "Coffee" and #205 is "Bagel," your template will literally say "Coffee" and "Bagel" on those keys. Prioritize frequently used items on easily reachable keys

11. Recommendations

Map highest-frequency items to easiest-to-reach keys.
Use color-coded, durable overlays matched to the business’ visual system.
Implement limited modifier schemes to expand functionality without confusing staff.
Keep manager/programming access restricted and logged.
Pilot and iterate the template based on transaction data and staff feedback.

Step 4: Labeling Conventions

Do not use jargon. (Write "XL Coke" not "Bvrg-XL-Carbonated")
Use standard abbreviations (Chzbrgr, Sm Fr, Lrg Lt).
