Select choice group items

The content of this page is specific to the Delphi product type only. If you are using the Delphi Core product type and want to learn more about the Delphi product type, contact your sales representative.

Some of your detailed menus might include a choice of items. For example, a dinner menu might include a choice of starters and desserts. These collections of items, called choice groups, allow your customers to customize their menu according to their preferences.

You are prompted to make choice group selections when you add the menu to an event. Your selections then display on the Items tab at the bottom of the Editing Item Details page. The quantity needed for the event is determined using the item's defined Quantity Calculation. You can always modify your choice group selections by clicking the Choice Group name on the Items tab.

Some of your events might include default menus and items. For example, your PM Break always includes bottled water, assorted snacks, and fresh fruit. When you create that event on a booking, those items are automatically added for you. If a default menu includes a choice group, your administrator can make the choice group selections ahead of time. You are not prompted to make any selections when you create the event. The items are automatically added along with the menu. You can always change those selections to accommodate your customer's specific requests.

To select items from a choice group

  1. Add a menu that has a choice group to a booking event. The Select Choice Group Items window displays. The top of the window shows the name of the choice group and the number of items that can be selected for the menu.
  2. Select at least the minimum and up to the maximum number of items allowed in the choice group, and click Save.

    If you do not select at least the minimum number of items, a message displays and you need to confirm that you want to add the menu without making any choice group selections.

  3. Repeat step 2 for each additional choice group on the menu. The selected choice group items display on the Items tab of the Editing Item Details page.
  4. To change the choice group selections, click the Choice Group Name on the Items tab.  
  5. Add or remove items, as needed, and then click Save.
