Linking a Menu Item to Recipes

  1. Click Maintenance, and then click Menu Item Linking.
  2. Use the filters to narrow your search, and then click the Menu Item Name of the item you want to link.
  3. If the recipe is the same for all menu levels, select Always use Menu Level 1.
  4. If the recipe differs for each menu level, select Use individual linking for each Menu Level, and then select the menu levels.
  5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Link Recipe or place the cursor in the Recipe field, and then press Enter.
  6. Select the recipe to which you want to link the menu item, and then click OK.
  7. Modify the recipe quantity in the Qty field.

    For example, imagine you are linking a french fry recipe to menu levels 1, 2, and 3, where 1 is a small size, 2 is a medium size, and 3 is a large size. A small is one portion of the recipe, a medium is 1 1/2 portions, and a large is 2 portions. Therefore, you would enter 1.5 in the quantity field for menu level 2, and 2 in the quantity field for level 3.

  8. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Link to all Cost Centers, deselect the cost centers where you do not want the menu item to be linked, and then click OK.
  9. Click OK.
