Activate Main and Sub Level Defaults

The Menu Level Sets module contains the lowest menu level hierarchy. In Simphony Essentials, there are two default Menu Level Sets already set up at the Enterprise level called ‘Main’ and ‘Sub’ with menu level entries of the same name. You can change these names and add other records. They will appear in the workstation TSR and Bar workflows as shown below:

Figure 13-2 Example of Menu Level Sets Names

This figure explains the Menu Level Sets module and how the record names appear in TSR and Bar workflows on the workstation.

Select the Enterprise, click Configuration, and then click Menu Level Sets.

The Type column specifies whether the Menu Level Set refers to the Main Levels, the Sub Levels, or to the levels defined within the record. You can create an entry for the entire Main Level Set and Sub Level Set in this module; this allows you to configure the Options for Main and Sub levels.
Double-click the row for the level you are setting:

Two Menu Level Sets come with the application: Main and Sub.
1. To define main menu levels, highlight the Main row in the left pane.
2. To define sub menu levels, highlight the Sub row in the left pane.
3. To define menu levels for a custom level set, insert a new record, enter a custom level set name, click OK, and then highlight the new custom level in the left pane.
In the Menu Level Entries section, define the menu levels by entering the numbered level field values.

You can use menu levels to specify menu item sizes, such as Small, Medium, and Large; and serving periods, such as Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Happy Hour.
1. Enter text into the Name field for reference purposes, regardless of whether it is being used to identify specific uses like sizing or serving periods.
2. (Optional) Enter the Prefix or Suffix for each menu level. This information appears on the check detail area and prints on guest checks and customer receipts.
1. To define a menu level as the default level for the menu level set, in the Options column, click the ellipsis point (...) button adjacent to the default menu level, select 1 - Default, and then click OK.
2. To define a menu level as an anonymous level for the menu level set, in the Options column, click the ellipsis point (...) button adjacent to the anonymous menu level, select 2 - Anonymous, and then click OK.
  
  The default and anonymous menu levels are generic, and are typically used with $0.00 priced menu item definitions that have names such as [SIZE] Hot Drink or [TEMP] Drink.
Click Save.
