Configuring Production Items for Menu Items

  1. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Production Items.
  2. Insert a new record and then enter a Name for the production item (for example, hamburger patty).

    The name should clearly identify what is being prepared for each menu item that is being tracked. If required, n truncate production names to allow adequate spacing for the production item counters.

  3. To configure foreground and background colors (highlight schemes) for differentiating the production item, see KDS Highlight Schemes for more information.
  4. In the Shelf Life column, enter the amount of time needed to prepare this production item before the order is plated.

    This setting controls whether to show one or two counters with the production item. If the value is set to 0, a single counter is shown and the prep cook starts preparing the item as soon as it appears on the display. If the value is greater than 0, an Over or Under counter is used.

  5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to create more production items.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Menu Item Maintenance.
  8. Search for and then double-click a menu item mater record that includes a production item.
  9. Click the Production Items tab, and then click Add in the Production Item section.
  10. Click the ellipsis point (...) button in the Production Item Name column, and then select the corresponding production item for the menu item master .
