Overview: Menu 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.
A detailed menu is built by grouping 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. Consider the following examples of how menu items might be managed.
Items included in the menu price
A brunch menu for 25.00 per person always includes certain foods and non-alcoholic beverages. Each item has an individual price when sold on consumption, but, when sold with the menu, the items are included in the menu price.
Items sold on consumption
A dinner menu consists of an appetizer, main course, and dessert for 50.00 per person. This menu also includes the option to purchase an alcoholic beverage for 8.00 per drink. While the food items are priced with the menu, the alcohol is not. Because the beverage is served with the other dinner items, the beverage is added to the menu but sold in addition to the menu price.
Choice groups
Choice groups can be included in the menu price or sold on consumption. For example, a dinner menu for 60.00 per person includes a choice of salad in the menu price. However, the same menu's dessert choice group includes items that are sold per piece. You can build this type of menu by adding individual items and choice groups in the Menu Items section.
