This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Menus and Packages.

To add a menu to a property

1. Navigate to the Property Administration screen, then the Properties view.
2. Identify the property to which you want to add a menu and drill down on the property's Name field.
3. Click the Menus view tab.
4. In the Menus list, add a new record and complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the table that follows.

   Field	Comments
   Type	Type of menu. Determines the pricing method. Menu Per Person value is automatically selected and read only. This value provides one menu for each person. The price can be a fixed price for each person, or a variable price for each person depending on the items selected.
   Grouping	Identifies related groups of menus. Allows users to do searches for menus classified by these related groups. For example, Dinner could be a grouping, and this would help users to find all the dinner menus that are accessible in a property.
   List Price(s)	Read only. Can contain multiple prices, each valid for a different time period. The field shows the first price in the list. To see all prices, open the field's selection dialog box.
   Split Pricing	Read-only, based on this menu's associated child items. Identifies this menu as having a variable price for each person depending on the items selected. If any of the child menu items have a Split Menu Price defined, then this check box is selected.
   Fixed	If selected, end users cannot add or delete menu items, or change the quantities of menu items, in the Quote, Order, or Event Check views. Administrators, however, can add or delete menu items and change the quantities of menu items in the Administration views.
   Revenue Sub Category	Select a Revenue Sub Category with which to associate this menu. For revenue allocation purposes, overrides the categories of the child menu items. For more information about revenue allocations, see Revenue Allocations for Menus and Packages.
   Revenue Category	Read only; populated from the selected Revenue Sub Category.
   Parent Revenue Category	Read only; populated from the selected Revenue Sub Category.
   Grouping	Type of meal or occasion for which the menu is designated.
   Recommendation Message	Enter a message that an end user can use to influence a customer to buy the menu. For example, specify that the menu is particularly suitable for formal dinners.
   Start Date	First day when the menu is available. Defaults to the current date.
   End Date	Last day when the menu is available.
