A menu can be set up as an extended menu, which means it supports recipes that have been extended with 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 WaaG.
Note: The menu items being offered for a specific diet type/texture type combination are added as part of a recipe’s extension grid, which can be done from the recipe itself or from the menu item.
Viewing Diet/Texture Type Offerings on WaaG
- Open the week-at-a-glance (WaaG) view for the menu.
- At the top right corner of the screen, select the desired diet type and texture type from the respective Diet type and Texture type fields. The WaaG 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 for the regular item, then that item is indicated as "Do Not Serve" and appears in red text.
- If the diet type is configured with a restriction, and a restricted item was selected for that diet type, then the restricted item and 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).
