Assigning Default Condiments to Parent Menu Items

Default condiments are used for the following purposes:

1. The default building of a menu item (for example, a hamburger comes with tomato, onion, and pickle)

2. Breaking down a menu item to the ingredient level for inventory system integration (for example, the default number of pickles that accompany a hamburger)

Default condiments are not supported with Transaction Services. If you are using Transaction Services, workstation operators need to add default condiments separately.

1. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Menu Item Maintenance.
2. Search for and double-click a parent menu item record.
3. Click the Default Condiments subtab, and then click Add.
4. Click the ellipsis point (...) button from the Condiment Set column, select the condiment set, and then click OK.
5. (Optional) Enter the sort group number for the condiment set in the Sort Group column.

   All condiment sets appear in the workstation according to the Sort Group. Condiment sets in Sort Group 0 appear first, followed by 1, 2, and so on. Items that have the same Sort Group number appear as they are listed in the EMC.

6. To show the default condiments, click the ellipsis point (...) button from the Options column, and then select 1 - Display when in default state.
7. To always charge guests for the condiment count, select 2 - Charge for entire sales count, and then click OK.

   For example, if a burger comes with 2 slices of cheese by default, the guest is charged regardless of whether they order 1 or 2 slices of cheese on the burger. If you do not select this option, guests are only charged when the condiment count exceeds the default count.

8. Click Save.
