Configuring a Weighed Menu Item

A weighed menu item is measured in ounces, pounds, or kilograms and is priced per unit of measurement (for example, lobster is sold by the pound). You can measure the weight manually or automatically. The workstation calculates the price regardless of the weight entry method.

• Manual – The workstation operator can use the Item Weight function key and enter the weight of the item.

• Automatic – A scale attached to a workstation can automatically calculate the weight of the item.

There are two ways to configure a weighed menu item:

1. Assign the menu item to a menu item class that has option 15 - Weighed Items set.
2. Set a Tare Weight for menu item definition. See Understanding Tare Weight and Setting the Tare Weight for a Menu Item for more information.
