Add revenue breakdowns
When you create a menu, you can specify the menu's revenue breakdown by allocating amounts of the total menu price to the appropriate revenue classifications.
Some detailed menus include items sold on consumption. These items are not included in the revenue breakdown, since they are priced individually and allocate revenue based on the assigned revenue classification.
Detailed menus are unavailable with Delphi Core.
In addition to revenue reporting, the revenue breakdown is used to decide which taxes apply to the menu on the banquet check. For example, your property has a 4.0% liquor tax. Your menu is 95.00 per person with 60.00 allocated to Food and 35.00 allocated to Beverage. The banquet check displays 95.00 as the price of the menu, but the 4.0% liquor tax only applies to the 35.00 allocated to Beverage.
A menu's price needs to match the sum of the revenue breakdowns. This ensures correct taxing on the banquet check and accurate revenue reporting.
To add revenue breakdowns to a menu
-
To open the menu on the Item Detail page, do one of the following:
- In the Items/Menus/Text section of the Property page, click the menu name.
- Navigate to Items, select the appropriate view, and then click the menu name.
-
In the Item Revenue Breakdowns section, click New.
The required fields display a red indicator. These fields need to be complete before you can save the record.
- Enter the name of the revenue breakdown. This name might be the same as the allocated revenue classification.
- Enter the Revenue Classification or find and select the appropriate classification.
-
In the Unit Price field, enter the amount of the menu price to allocate to the revenue classification. For example, a brunch menu for 30.00 includes food items and an alcoholic beverage. Because this menu has both food and beverage items, the total price can be allocated as follows: 20.00 to Food and 10.00 to Beverage.
- Enter the default Admin Charge and Gratuity percentages to apply to that amount of the menu price.
-
Do one of the following:
- Click Save to save your changes and return to the Item page.
- Click Save & New to save your changes and add another revenue breakdown to the menu.
- Click Cancel to discard your changes.
The revenue breakdowns display in the Editing Item Details window when users add the menu to an event.
