Creating Menu Groups

Learn how to group your menu items within a menu

A Menu Item Group is a grouping of items contained within a menu, e.g. Entree, Main and Dessert. 

Creating a Menu Item Group

1. As a menu group belongs to a menu, firstly a menu must be created or an existing menu edited. See Creating Menus
2. On the ‘Items’ tab, click the “Add” Button, then “Add New Group”
3. Complete the following
   
   • Name - Name of the Group
   • Marketplace  or Booking Engine Name - If the external name of the group varies from the internal name
   • Minimum Selection - The minimum number of items that should be selected from this group (blank has no restrictions)
   • Maximum Selection - The minimum number of items that should be selected from this group (blank has no restrictions)Enter the group’s details on the dialogue
   • Serving Time - If the group of items has a default serving time that should be shown on Event Orders
4. Once the group has been created, it will list in the items
5. To assign an item to the group, simply drag the item to sit indented under the group name
   • If an item is sitting at the primary level (i.e. not indented below a group), this item does not belong to a group
   • Items can only belong to a group, items cannot be a subset of another item. Attempting to save this configuration will correct any incorrectly associated items to be at the primary level
6. Once an item is indented beneath a group, click the “Save Sort Order” button
