Something as simple sounding as a menu can be surprisingly complex.

A local burger place's burger has, I just worked out, 34,832,528,367,943,700 possible combinations. Some options are mututally exclusive, some add an extra charge. Etc.

and yet doesn't their pos terminal handle all of that already?
It's all done on paper. It only gets entered into the POS as the total "Custom Burger - $17.95" soethign like that
