Configure Regular Menu Item Class - Requiring Condiments

The following instructions help you configure a menu item class for menu items requiring a condiment. Certain menu items require a selection of one or more condiment menu items. For example, a cheeseburger may require the selection of both a meat temperature and a type of cheese. The menu item class for the cheeseburger must be configured to require the members of the two Condiment Groups to appear on the workstation for selection when the cheeseburger button is pressed.

It is helpful to use a naming convention that allows users to distinguish between types of menu item classes and to identify their purpose: what Condiment Groups they Require, Allow, or are a Member of; what order devices they output to, and so on. You could use a shorthand letter at the beginning of the Regular and Required and Condiment or Member classes:

• An upper case “R” for the classes requiring a condiment

• A lower case “m” for classes that are members of Condiment Groups

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 requiring condiments, and then click OK.

   An example is R-Meat Temp/Cheese Choice.

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

   Table 13-4 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 then select the appropriate options. See Configure Menu Item Class for a description of each option.
7. Click the Condiment Groups tab.
   1. In the Required Condiment Groups column, select the condiment groups that are required for the menu items to which this class is assigned.

      Using the R-Meat Temp/Cheese Choice menu item class example, the Meat Temp and Cheese Choice Condiment Groups are enabled.

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

      If these allowed condiment groups are disabled, the only condiments permitted with menu items associated with this class are those being required.

8. Click the Forced Condiments tab.

   You can edit the minimum and maximum number of condiment choices the workstation operator can select. If a group (for example, Cheese Choice) is set to 0 (zero), the operator is not required to make a selection. If set to 1, that is the minimum number of condiments from that group that are required for selection.

   1. In the Minimum column for a group, enter 1.
   2. In the Maximum column for a group, enter the largest number of condiments allowed for selection.
9. Click Save.
