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 information, including:
-
The tax class associated with the menu items
-
The two types of menu items: Regular and Condiments
-
Active menu levels after ordering an item from the class
-
The order devices to which the items output
You can configure similar menu items into a class rather than individually setting each menu item’s order device output or condiment settings. For example, the menu items Cola, Diet Cola, and Root Beer all share the following characteristics:
-
Receive the same tax rates
-
Do not require condiments
-
Output 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.
