A menu can be set up as an extended menu, which means it supports recipes that have been extended with therapeutic substitutions for the various diet type/texture type combinations set up in your account.
Assuming your menu is an extended menu, then both the week-at-a-glance (WaaG) view and menu day view allow you to view the menu items being offered for the diet type/texture type combinations.
This article explains how to view diet/textures on the menu day view.
Note: The menu items being offered for a specific therapeutic diet type/texture type are added as part of a recipe’s extension grid, which can be done from the recipe itself or menu itself.
Viewing Diet/Texture Type Offerings on Menu Day View
- Open the menu day view for the menu.
- From the Diet and Texture fields at the top right, select the diet/texture combination you want to view. The menu day view refreshes with menu items that are offered for the selected diet/texture types.
Note the following:
- If the item for the diet/texture combination is set to do not serve on the therapeutic extension grid, then that item is indicated as "Do Not Serve" and appears in red text.
-
If the diet type is configured with restricted items, and a restricted item is selected for that diet type, then the restricted item appears in red text with the diet conflict icon (
) to alert you of the conflict.
Hovering your cursor over the icon display details of the conflict.
When there is a conflict, you can update the diet type with the appropriate substitute (see Working in a Menu Item Extension Grid).
