Adding and Disabling Menu Items

Adding a menu item is a different process than adding records in other Enterprise Management Console (EMC) modules. You can add master records, definition records, and price records at the same time for the Enterprise in the Menu Item Maintenance module. These instructions explain how to add menu item master records with definition and price records. For information about adding masters, definitions, and prices individually, see the appropriate section:

• Configuring Master Records for Menu Items

• Configuring Menu Item Definitions

• Configuring Menu Item Prices

1. To add menu items in the EMC, select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration and Menu Item Maintenance.
2. Insert a record.
3. If you opened Menu Item Maintenance from the revenue center, in the Select a task to perform drop-down list, select Add Master Record from Template.
4. Click Select adjacent to the Master to Copy field and select a template record.
5. Enter the Name of the new menu item.
6. Enter the Record Number of the item. By default, this field shows the next available record number after the selected record to copy.
7. If you selected Add Master Record from Template, select Copy Menu Item Names to copy all existing primary and foreign names, including Long Descriptors, from the original menu item to the new menu item.
8. If the menu item is priced the same for the entire Enterprise or property, select Use the same price for all records, and enter the price in the text box next to the option.
9. If the menu item has more than one definition and price, select Configure Prices Individually, enter the price for the first definition in the Price column, and click OK to add the menu item.
10. If you want to add another menu item, click Yes when prompted and repeat Steps 4 through 9.
11. If you do not want to add another item, click No.
12. Click Save.
13. If you want to disable a menu item, select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration and Menu Item Maintenance.
14. Double-click the menu item that you want to disable.
15. Click the General tab and deselect all main and sub levels in the Menu Level Availability section.
16. Click Save.
