About Removing Items from a Menu

Removing an item from the menu involves removing the regular diet order item, which in turn will remove any of its therapeutic substitutes that are extended to the therapeutic diet orders.

An item can be removed from either the week-at-a-glance (WaaG) view or menu day view. Refer to the appropriate set of instructions below.

Removing Items when on the Week-at-a-Glance (WaaG) View

To remove an item when on the week-at-a-glance view, complete the following steps: 

1. Open the menu to the week-at-a-glance (WaaG) view.

3. Click the Delete button. 
    
4. If the item is only available in one instance (i.e., one meal period, day, week), then a confirmation message appears. Click Remove to remove the item. 
   
   
    
5. If the item is available in more than one instance (i.e., more than one meal period, day, week combination) then the Remove Item pop-up appears with two options:
   • The first option allows you to remove it from the one instance (i.e., meal period, day, week) the menu item was accessed from.
   • The second option allows you to remove the item from all instances (i.e., all meal period/day/week combinations). 
     
     
      
6. After making your selections, click the Delete button. A confirmation message appears. Click Delete to this message.
    
7. A success message appears and the items are removed.

Removing Item when on a Non-Regular Diet Order

When you open the menu to the menu day view, by default you are viewing items for the regular diet order. Regular diet order items can be removed from the menu, which in turn will remove their therapeutic substitutes that are extended to the non-regular diet orders.

However, if you are viewing a different diet order on the menu day view (by selecting the diet type and texture type from the Diet and Texture drop-downs, respectively, at the top right of the page), then when attempting to remove an item, the system will present a message stating that the item will only be removed from the selected diet/texture and replace the menu item extension grid of the associated regular recipe with Do Not Serve. Click Remove and change to Do not serve to proceed.
