Creating Menu Item Components

1. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Components.
2. Insert a new Component record, enter a name for the component in the Name field, and then double-click the record to open it.
3. (Optional) Enter the name to show on the KDS for the component in the Display Name field.

   If you do not enter a Display Name, the condiments linked to this component are sent to the KDS, but the component name itself is not.

4. Enter the Preparation Time for the component, and then select the Print Class that sends the component to the appropriate Prep Station.

   You can send components only to Prep Stations.

5. To show all condiments for the parent menu item with the component in the KDS, select Display All Condiments.

   The KDS shows condiments that are not part of the component within square brackets. This can help with plating food correctly.

6. Click Save.
7. If the component has condiments:
   1. Assign the component to a parent menu item. See Assigning Components to a Menu Item for more information.
   2. Reopen or refresh the Components module, and then double-click the component that you assigned to a menu item in Step 7-a to open it.
   3. From the Linked Condiments section, click Add, and then click the ellipsis point (...) button on the Linked Condiments column.

      The Add link is dimmed when the component is not linked to a menu item definition.

   4. Select a condiment, and then click OK.
   5. Repeat Steps 7-c and 7-d to add all condiments for the component.
   6. Click Save.
