Test view menu while building

Hello,  I am new to Toast and am currently building a menu for our new restaurant.  I think I have figured out modifiers and pre modifiers but would like to look at how it will appear on the terminal, which we don't have yet.  Is there a way to see the layout from my PC or do I have to keep building the menu and hope it all works out once the equipment is installed?

Best thing to do is use an android emulator on PC while setting up menu, especially if you don't have equipment yet. Here is a guide on getting that setup with BlueStacks https://central.toasttab.com/s/article/Bluestacks-Download-Guide

Is there a way to do this with a Mac computer?

Depends if you have an intel processor or not. Otherwise either take an old GrubHub tablet or Any cheap android tablet and download it 

If it's a newer non intel mac you can use genymotion, I prefer it either way since you can have multiple virtual devices running at the same time which is good for testing prep stations and KDS setup.

Yeah, not supporting BlueStacks anymore.  New solutions??

On a Mac I assume?
