Configure Regular Menu Item Class - No Condiments Required

The following instructions help you configure a menu item class for menu items that do not require condiments. Many items that appear on a menu do not require modifiers, such as appetizers and beer. These types of menu items need a special menu item class to tell the items that they need no additional modifications to be marked as complete.

Often these classes are named “Food No Prep” or “Bar No Prep”, indicating that no further preparation is needed.

1. Select the Enterprise, property, or revenue center, click Configuration, and then click Menu Item Classes.
2. Click the Insert icon () on the toolbar.
3. In the Insert Record dialog, enter the Record Name for the regular menu item class without condiments, and then click OK.

   An example is Food No Prep.

4. Double-click the new menu item class record.
5. On the General tab, configure the following settings:

   Table 13-5 General Menu Item Class Fields

   Field	Description
   Tax Class	Select the tax class to apply to all menu items that receive this class. To leave the tax class blank, select 0 - None.
   Print Class	Select the print class to apply to all menu items that receive this class.

6. Click the Options tab, and select the appropriate options.

   See Configure Menu Item Class for a description of all options.

7. Click the Condiment Groups tab.

   For a No Prep class, the menu items require no modifiers and are also not members of a Condiment Group, so you do not need to select Required Condiment Groups nor Member Condiment Groups.

   1. In the Allowed Condiment Groups column, select the condiment groups that are allowed for menu items to which this class is assigned.

      When a menu item comes with a condiment, it needs to either require that condiment (enabled in the Required column), or to have it allowed (enabled in the Allowed column).

8. Click Save.
