19 Menu Item Classes

A menu item class consists of a set of options that apply to similar menu items in a revenue center. A menu item class specifies important information, including:

  • The tax class associated with the menu items

  • The two types of menu items: Regular and Condiments

  • The functionality of menu levels after ordering an item

  • The order devices to which the items print

Configuring similar menu items into a class is easier than individually setting each menu item’s order device output or condiment settings. For example, the menu items Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Root Beer all share the following characteristics:

  • Receive the same tax rates

  • Do not require condiments

  • Print to the same order device

Therefore, you can create one menu item class called Soda and make all soda menu items a part of this class.
