This is a full explanation of the menu items screen.
 |
This is the name as it will appear on the button in the Order Entry Screen 3.x. |
 |
This is what should be displayed on a kitchen printout if different than the name. |
 |
This checkbox allows the menu item to be activated or deactivated. |
 |
This menu allows the user to select the revenue class this menu item should be associated with. This allows the items to be separated out for reports. |
 |
This menu allows the user to select the item group which this menu item should be associated with. this allows the items to be separated out for reports and also sets pricing automatically. |
 |
Until a screen category has been associated with this menu item, the menu item will not be displayed in the Order Entry Screen 3.x. Multiple screen categories may be selected. |
 |
A menu item does not have to have a choice set, but if there are choices allowed or required for the menu item, each of the choice sets that would allow for these must be selected. Multiple choice sets may be selected. |
 |
This designates which printer a menu item will be set to.
Example: In a restaurant / bar, a server places an order for a chicken basket and a Coors Light. The kitchen doesn't need to know about the Coors and the bar doesn't need to see that the customer ordered the chicken. By selecting the printers which this menu item will print on, Dinerware streamlines the process. |
 |
Even though an item is associated with an item group, it may have a uniquely different price. Place a check in the box and enter the unique price for the item. If the item group price changes, this items price will not.
Note: Remember, all choices follow each menu item when printing. |
 |
This is the unique field entry for #9. |
 |
Enter the amount that it costs to make the menu item. This will allow Dinerware to perform cost/ sales performance reports. |
 |
This is the SKU number provided by your food distributor. |
 |
When this checkbox is selected, the menu item will never print on any customer receipt. |
 |
Currently this box does nothing. The idea will be in the future to have menu items print on kitchen tickets for training. |
 |
When the box is checked, it enables the processing in the Order Entry Screen 3.x. It tells the system that this item is sold at a price per weight measurement instead of at a fixed amount. When that menu item is selected by a user, the user will be taken to the weigh item window. If the scale is integrated, the weight will be displayed. If the user is working with an external scale, they may enter the weight and then Dinerware will calculate the total cost in addition, when this button is clicked, the user will see a new button called weigh.
Example: A salad shop sells their salad bar by weight: 50 cents an oz. The user sets the full plate on the scale and Dinerware calculates the price by the weight. |
 |
This checkbox allows the user to enter a set weight for the system to use as a baseline.
Example: The salad shop sells their salads by weight, but they don't charge for the plate, so they set the weight of the plate in the system so that it is removed from the price when the calculations are done. |
 |
This is the tare weight entry field for #16. |
 |
This checkbox will give you a box with a keypad to enter a description. |
 |
This is the default quantity. |
 |
This will allow the employee to enter a custom price.
Example: Most places would use this for an open food option. |
