This article will show you how to setup and use your bluetooth scale with Lavu POS.
Scale Integration and Scale Setup
Lavu sells a Bluetooth connect scale to assist customers in determining prices for weighed menu items.
This scale requires a few steps to get it set up.
Control Panel Settings
Advanced Location Settings
You will need to adjust one setting in the back end.
- Log in to your Lavu admin control panel (cp.poslavu.com).

- Scroll down to the green Order Options header,
- Select Tor Rey L-EQ via BlueSnap Adapter from the drop-down menu next to Bluetooth scale type
- Click SAVE at the bottom of the page.
Menu Setting
You will need to create the menu item or items that you want to weigh to assign the price associated with the weight.
- Example: Earl Grey Tea (oz) $1.25 ($1.25 per oz)
Once you have created the item:
- Select *Weight from the forced modifier drop-down at the top of the category OR in line with the menu item
- Selecting the forced modifier at the category level applies the modifier to every item in the category.
- Selecting the forced modifier at the item level applies the modifier only to that item.
- Click SAVE at the bottom of the page.
- Reload settings on POS Lavu application on all of your iOS devices
This completes all of the steps necessary for setting up the Bluetooth Scale in the Lavu Control Panel. The next step is to set up the physical hardware.
