Print Groups

Print groups are user-defined values used to sort menu items. Print groups control sorting on various types of print jobs including order chits, guest checks, and customer receipts; however, it is most commonly used for order device output. You can use print groups to:

• Sort by preparation time (items that take longer are sorted first)

• Sort by meal course (appetizers before entrees)

• Sort specific condiments last

• Change the print group of parent menu items

Print groups are programmed for a menu item class; new menu item class records are created with a default value of 1.
