Select the Enterprise, property, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Family Groups.
Insert a new record, and then enter a name for the family
group (for example, Appetizers).
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.
(Optional) Select the Parent Major Group to which the new family group belongs.
Tip:
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.
Click Save.
