Configuring the Parent Item Tax Class Override
There are some locations where food is taxed differently based upon its preparation. For example, a whole bagel is not taxed. However, a bagel that is sliced in two, or warmed up is taxed. In both cases, the bagel's status changes from non-prepared to prepared - resulting in a tax change.
The configuration described here is only meant for condiment menu items. A condiment item can be configured to override a parent item’s tax class on all menu items associated with the condiment. The condiment only applies to the item to which it is added; the condiment does not change the taxes for the entire check, nor for items not associated with the parent item.
Preparation instructions, such as sliced and warmed, can be configured as condiment items in the EMC, and then workstation operators can add them to the parent item on the POS workstation.
