    Table 16-1 Menu Item Options

    Option Description

    10 - ON = Use Sub Level Pricing; OFF = Use Main Level Pricing

    Select this option for an item with multiple price definitions, to have the workstation use sub level pricing for the menu item class.

    26 - Keep Main Level With Repeat Rounds

    Select this option to have the items in the class use the same main menu level that was in effect during the most recent service round when ordered using the Repeat Round touchscreen button.

    27 - Keep Sub Level With Repeat Rounds

    Select this option to have the items in the class use the same sub menu level that was in effect during the most recent service round when ordered using the Repeat Round touchscreen button.

    28 - Print Main Level Prefix and Suffix

    Select this option to show the main menu level prefixes or suffixes on the check detail area and print on guest checks and order receipts.

    29 - Print Sub Level Prefix and Suffix

    Select this option to show the sub menu level prefixes or suffixes on the check detail area and print on guest checks and customer receipts.

    Prefixes and suffixes are often used to show the size of a menu item (for example, small or large soda). It is recommended to enable this option so customers understand why different charges are applied to the same menu item. For example, a Large Soda is $2.50, and a Small Soda is $1.50. When this option is deselected, the guest check or order receipt shows two entries for Soda: one Soda for $2.50 and another Soda for $1.50. If prefixes are printing, the customer understands that the Lrg Soda is $2.50 and the Sm Soda is $1.50.

    52 - Prompt to begin another item if this item is incomplete

    Select this option to prompt workstation operators to move to the next item before completing a menu item order. To use option 52, you must deselect option 51 - Item must be complete before beginning another item. Option 52 is not used with required condiments.

    69 - Prompt to lookup menu item definition based on current menu levels (Repeat Rounds)

    Select this option to prompt workstation operators to run a menu item definition lookup based on the current active menu levels when a repeatable menu item is unavailable.

    You must also select options 26 - Keep Main Level With Repeat Rounds and 27 - Keep Sub Level With Repeat Rounds.
  8. Click Save.
