Listing Items from Also Available Menu by Default
On the Advanced Ordering and Instant Ordering screens in Touch, you can have the Include Also Available check box selected by default for a menu category and meal period (breakfast, lunch, dinner) combination (screenshot below). When the Include Also Available check box is selected, the items from a scheduled also available menu are listed.
To have the Include Also Available check box selected by default for a menu category/meal period combination, complete the following steps:
- In Touch Admin, select Ordering Settings > Category Settings. The Category Settings screen appears, listing the menu categories for each meal period. Note that menu categories are created in the MealSuite site; see Working with Menu Categories for more information.
- Select the desired meal period (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) from the top row. The screen refreshes with the menu categories set up for that meal period.
- Select the Edit button of the desired menu category. The Edit Category screen appears.
- Select the Automatically display Also Available menu in Instant Ordering or Advance Ordering check box.
- Click the Update Category Meal button to apply your changes.
