Add items and choice groups to menus
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.
A detailed menu is built by adding existing items or choice groups together. Items can be sold on consumption in addition to the menu price, or they can be included in the menu price.
All items and choice groups need to be created before they can be added to a menu.
To add items and choice groups to a menu
- In the Menu Items section of the Item page, click Add Menu Item or Choice Group. The New Menu Item page displays.
-
Do one of the following:
- If you are adding a choice group, find and select it in the Choice Group field.
- If you are adding an item, find and select it in the Child Item field.
- Select the Price with Menu checkbox if the item is included in the menu price. Clear this checkbox if the item price is in addition to the menu price and based on consumption. This option also applies to the items in a choice group.
-
In the Unit Price field, do one of the following:
- If the item is included in the menu price, leave the Unit Price field blank.
- If the item is not included in the menu price, enter the Unit Price of the item. This can be a different price than when the item is sold on its own.
- Enter the Sort Order. This controls the display order of the item or choice group on the menu.
- In the Estimated Consumption Percentage field, enter the average percentage of event attendees that you expect to consume the item or choice group. The default value is 100%. This is used most often when the item is priced with menu. For example, a Coffee Break menu includes coffee and tea. You estimate 60% of attendees might drink coffee during the event. For the Coffee item, enter 60 for the Estimated Consumption Percentage.
- Select one or more of the BEO and Banquet Check Display options for the item or choice group as needed.

- Click Save to save your changes and return to the Item page.
