Configuring Family Groups

  1. Select the Enterprise, property, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Family Groups.
  2. Insert a new record, and then enter a name for the family group (for example, Appetizers).
  3. Enter a number other than 0 (zero) in the Report Group field.

    For example, you can enter 1 for all family groups associated with Food and enter 2 for all family groups associated with Liquor. When you enter 0 (zero), the menu item does not appear on the Menu Item Report.

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

    Note:

    Assigning a Parent Major Group to a Family Group provides a filtering of choices when assigning a family group to a Menu Item Master record, where only the family groups belonging to the assigned Major Group appear in the drop-down list. This is useful when there are a large number of family groups configured, or to prevent assigning a family group which is not associated with a major group.
  5. Click Save.
