I’m trying to install the free version for a client which is a restaurant
the products in the menu are not the same items of inventory as you know because it is a mix of many items with different quantities
so I was wondering if anyone can help me with this

For restaurant businesses we basically use a dedicated restaurant POS system (you can Google on those some good open-source / free ones are Floreant POS, Centa POS and Samba POS (latter prefer paid version)). With these, we manage inventory, daily sales, table ordering, receipt printing, kitchen orders, etc. They also have basic accounting facilities and allow us to create summaries.
We use Manager for Tax accounting and import monthly POS summaries for Sales and Cost of Sales and Inventory Values for main items. We also use Manager to lodge all bank transactions, Asset Management, etc. Only not for the sales, ordering and inventory management parts.

I suggest for you two POS systems and you can use them for free to do the sales part and then you can move the data to Manager app.
- loyverse (works on android tablets or phones)
- Aronium (works on windows)
For more help you can contact me.
Have a great day!

Hello, Did you continue using Manager for running day to day activities, or did you manage to get another software and move data to Manager.
I am also contemplating on using Manager for my restaurant, and am setting up for day to day usage. as opposed to using it for summaries only.
From experience you will be disappointed to use Manager as a POS for any restaurant business. Use alternatives as advised also by @aamra for service sales and post summaries to Manager.
thank you, i understand its not a POS functionality system, I want to use it for calculate cost of the business. so basically its a backend service. front end is handled by another system which is manual which at this stage does not need IOT
