Configure Default Condiments

Condiments allow workstation operators and guests to customize orders. A Condiment Set tells the system which condiments to automatically add to a menu item when it is ordered. For example, a hamburger may have a default Condiment Set containing lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.

Condiment menu items can be assigned to Condiment Groups to organize similar ingredients or instructions and make them available to menu items. By categorizing condiments into groups, operators can quickly find ingredients or instructions without having to search through a long list of options on the POS client.

Required condiments are condiment groups the system requires workstation operators to select from when ordering a menu item. For example, a steak may have a required condiment group called meat temperatures containing rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, and well done.

Allowed condiments are condiment groups that do not come with a menu item by default but are available to add to an order. For example, a guest may request a side of BBQ sauce with chicken fingers that comes with honey mustard sauce by default.

   3. Select the condiments in the Condiment Sets list, and then select the following options.

      • Display when in default state: Select this option to show the default condiment set in POS Operations.

      • Charge for entire sales count: Select this option to charge guests for the condiment count.

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