Menus and items grid component details

This is the name of the menu or item that displays on the event order and banquet check.

This is the order a menu or item displays in the designated section of the BEO.

Menus display before items within each section of a merged BEO.

This indicates how the menu or item quantity needs to be calculated when added to the event:

• Not Calculated - The quantity is not automatically calculated. Instead, you must enter the quantity needed for the event.

• Per Person - How are Per Person quantities calculated?Quantity = (Most Current Attendance x Consumption %) / Service Factor.
  For example, if 100 people are expected at an event and a cup of soup serves 1, 100 cups of soup are needed for the event. If a cake serves 20, 5 cakes are needed.

• Per Event - The service factor is used to calculate the quantity needed for the event. For example, if 100 people are expected at an event and an LCD projector has a service factor of 100, only one is needed.

This indicates if partial quantities of the item can be sold. For example, you can sell 2.5 gallons of coffee.

This is the forecasted quantity of the menu or item needed for the event. The Quantity Calculation field controls how the Booked Quantity is calculated.

• Per Person - How are Per Person booked quantities calculated?Booked Quantity = (Agreed or Expected Attendance x Consumption %) / Service Factor.
  For example, if the forecasted attendance is 50 and a pizza serves 1, the Booked Quantity is set to 50. However, if the pizza serves 5, the Booked Quantity is set to 10.

  If this is a per person menu or item on a package event, the Booked Quantity is the sum of the non-package and package attendees. See Add menus and items to package events.

• Per Event - The Booked Quantity always equals 1.

• Not Calculated - The Booked Quantity is set to 0, and you must enter the quantity needed for the event.

This is the quantity of the menu or item sold at the event. This value is used to capture the menu or item revenue on the banquet check and in reports. The Quantity Calculation field controls how the Actual Quantity is calculated. If needed, you can manually update the Actual Quantity before printing the banquet check. See Enter actual quantities.

• Per Person - How are Per Person actual quantities calculated?Actual Quantity = (Most Current Attendance x Consumption %) / Service Factor.
  
  For example, if the guarantee is 60 and a pizza serves 1, the Actual Quantity is set to 60. However, if the pizza serves 4, the Actual Quantity is set to 15.
  
  When you modify the Actual Quantity on a per person menu or item, the Quantity Calculation is set to Not Calculated, and the event's attendance is no longer used to calculate the Actual Quantity.

  If this is a per person menu or item on a package event, the Actual Quantity is the sum of the non-package and package attendees. When you update the actuals for the event, enter the total number of items sold and the package and non-package actual quantity update. See Enter package actuals.

• Per Event - The Actual Quantity always equals 1.

• Not Calculated - The Actual Quantity reflects the Booked Quantity until you update it to indicate what sold at the event.

This is the exclusive or inclusive price of the menu or item. If the item is priced with the menu, you do not need to enter the price.

If the item is included in the package price, the event's revenue breakdown is used, rather than the unit price, to calculate the package revenue. See Add menus and items to package events.

This is the method of how the item is sold, for example, per person or per hour.

This value can display on the BEO for informational purposes only. It does not affect the total revenue calculation.

This is when the menu or item is to be served. This defaults to the event's start date and time.
