Configure Family Group

Family groups are used to categorize sales. You can use them when running the Family Group Sales Report on the workstation or to sort items within other reports. Each family group also has a report group number associated with it. The report group numbers are used to view subtotals of family groups on reports.

1. Select the Enterprise or property, click Configuration, and then click Family Groups.
2. Click the Insert icon () on the toolbar.
3. In the Insert Record dialog, enter the Record Name for the family group (for example, Appetizers), and then click OK.
4. Enter a number other than 0 (zero) in the Report Group field.

   Report Groups let you see family group food sales subtotaled together in whichever way the Enterprise needs. For example, Appetizers, Soups, and Salads may be Report Group Subtotal 1; domestic and imported beers may be Report Group Subtotal 2.

5. (Optional) Select the Parent Major Group to which the new family group belongs.

   By associating the family group and major group here, the application limits the family group assignment for a menu item to those family groups linked to the item’s major group.

6. Click Save.
