Populate sample Menu data for your test venue 3\. Populate sample Table data for your test venue 4\. Subscribe your apps to the test venue automatically 5\. Create a test POS for your organisation, and associate it with your test venue   To invoke the Test Venue operation, login to the Sandbox Dashboard ([https://sandbox-dashboard.io](https://sandbox-dashboard.io)) and go to your Organisation details page, by either clicking on the ID (gQM6P6Rg) or the ![](https://support.doshii.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/mceclip1-Jul-08-2023-01-47-09-2122-AM.png)icon. ![](https://support.doshii.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/mceclip2-Jul-08-2023-01-47-08-4858-AM.png?width=670&height=186&name=mceclip2-Jul-08-2023-01-47-08-4858-AM.png) Under your Venues listing, you will notice on the right hand side the ![](https://support.doshii.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/mceclip3-Jul-08-2023-01-47-07-2946-AM.png)icon.
