Menu Item Groups

Each record in a menu item group specifies the menu items it represents. A menu item group is a workstation operator-defined group of menu items that Simphony uses to calculate discounts. Within the Menu Item Group module, you can assign menu items based on major groups, family groups, or by menu item object number or range. Each menu item group can have a combination of major groups, family groups, and so on. Groups can be programmed to include and exclude major groups, family groups, and so on.

Examples of menu item groups are:

• All menu items in major group Liquor

• All menu items in major group Liquor, but not Bottles of Wine in family group 6

• All menu items in family groups Cold Appetizers, Warm Appetizers, and Soups

• All menu items with object numbers in the range 4000-4999, 14000-14999, and major group Non-liquor

• All menu items with object numbers in the range 5000-10000, except the ones in 6500-6600
