Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can maintain the menu records in the system, i.e. insert new records, edit and delete the existing ones. You can display the data on the screen for enquiry only.

Menus are used to collate several items which are also recorded when an individual item is sold (the so-called menu carrier). This can be used for articles which are sold as a set or for articles which are offered in hospitality outlets, e.g. as menu of the day, couverts, etc. Menus are linked in program Item -> Linkage -> Menu to the sales article.

Note:
In program Parameter -> Misc.parameter -> Terminal type -> Add.data the user can set that the multiplication of menus with course selection is prohibited. This setting should be selected if guest check splitting is possible in your operation.

For creating a menu, do the following:

1. Create a menu under any free number.
2. Branch to the Menu Parts maintenance program by clicking the Menu Parts button to assign the desired items to the menu
3. Assign a Course Group to this menu if several or different items are to be linked per course.

You can set up different menus accordingly.

• Selection Menu:
  This menu consists of more than one course. Each course consists of more than one menu items. During posting, after each course, the items of the next course are displayed and can be selected. Based on the Course Group assigned to the menu, the number of menu items to be selected pro course is determined.
• Free Choice:
  This menu consists of only one course assigned with more than one menu items. All the items are assigned to the course. Based on the Course Group assigned to the menu, the number of menu items to be selected pro course is determined.
• Autom.Menu:
  This menu consists of more than one course, each of them assigned with only one menu item. Therefore during posting of this type of menu, there it is not necessary to choose the items and the items will be posted automatically.

Selection menu in hospitality:

A menu can consist, for example, of 4 courses, drinks, appetisers, main course and dessert. A selection of food or drink can be defined for each course. The customer can select the items required. MICROS Retail OSCAR POS allows for a price mark up to be defined for each menu item.

Selection menu in retailing:

A set consisting of wine, wine glasses and candles. The customer selects a bottle from the 3 on offer, a wine glass from 4 types offered and two candles from the 3 on offer. All this will be charged at a less expensive set price.

Remarks on the Input Fields

This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.

Just like in almost any other program:

• The Input Mask may be different in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program depending on the set-up of the application. In some cases some Data Fields may be missing.
• Some input fields may contain default values or defined selection options; these cannot be updated.
• The input mask contains some fields that require an entry and others in which entries are optional.
• If the data record is updated via multi-page input masks, go to the Dialog Window by clicking on the appropriate buttons with <Mouse key 1>.
• The same procedure applies to call up another update program from this program.
• In some cases you may find that so-called "Switches" which - depending on the default - can be activated or deactivated with <Mouse key 1>. Activated switches are identified by their dark color, deactivated switches are lighter-colored.
