Siebel Hospitality Guide > Setting Up Property-Specific Menus and Packages > About Menus and Packages AdministrationYou can set up simple and complex products that are available throughout Siebel Hospitality. This process is described in Setting Up Products and Assets. However, in Siebel Hospitality, you can also set up products that are specific to selected properties. This chapter describes how to set up menus and packages as property-specific products. By default, a menu or package created in this way is associated with one specific property. In addition to creating menus and packages that are automatically associated with the property of your choice, the functionality described in this chapter offers a simplified way of creating menus and packages as complex products. To create a menu or package with the functionality described in this chapter, you first create the component simple product items. Then you create a menu or package record and assign items to it. Then you assign prices to the menu or package. Menus and Packages DefinedA menu is a grouping of Food and Beverage (F&B) items that are sold together, which has one overall price. A menu can include only F&B items. A menu can be a fixed-price menu that costs the same regardless of items selected, or a variable-price menu that depends on the items selected. A variable-price menu can include alternate choices with different prices; for example, a salmon entree for 24.95 or a prime rib entree for 29.95. In this case, the price for each person varies depending on the individual selections. A package is a grouping that can include any type of items, such as menus, individual F&B items, individual non-F&B items, BEO (Banquet Event Order) items, and other packages. Both menus and packages are complex products. A menu is composed of multiple simple products, while a package is composed of multiple simple products and, possibly, other complex products as well. For more information about simple products and complex products, see Process of Setting Up Hospitality Products. Menus and Packages Revenue BreakoutsSiebel Hospitality has views that break down revenue information in detail for accounting purposes, and other views that sum up revenue information for presentation to customers. Siebel Hospitality performs financial breakout calculations, including revenues, taxes, service charges, audio-visual (AV) rentals, sleeping room rentals, banquet room rentals, and so on, in the background. Siebel Hospitality then transmits these calculations to the various revenue buckets and tracking categories. Guests do not see accounting line item details on their bills. However, if necessary, you can supply guests with this information. You can also track items to revenue categories and subcategories. For example, Liquor, Beer, and Wine subcategories are tracked to the Beverage category. For more information about, and examples of, revenue breakouts for menus and packages, see Revenue Allocations for Menus and Packages. Types of Menus and PackagesSeveral types of menus and packages exist. Each type defines how the menus or packages belonging to that type are priced.
Each menu and package type has pricing rules that are specific to that menu or package type. In the case of a Package Per Person, a Package Each, and a Menu Per Person that is a set menu, there is a set price for the parent product. A customer pays that set price regardless of which child products are included. In the case of Package Item Price, however, the parent package does not have a set price. Pricing is based on the items in the package and how many of the items the customer orders. For example, the price of a cash bar that includes various beverages is based on the quantity of each child product that is ordered. Similarly, for a Menu Per Person that is a split menu, the price of the parent menu varies according to the items ordered. For example, a split menu might offer a choice of steak or chicken. Depending on the choice, this menu has two different prices. Instances of Menu TypesThis topic shows specific instances of different types of menus.
