Summary
Components can be assigned to any item. Additionally, layers can be configured to be free. For example, the first 2 toppings on a pizza may have no charge, but every additional topping costs $1.00.
Configuration
Assign a component to an item
In Enterprise Content Management, navigate to the menu items by clicking Menu Items under the "Products" tab. Click the icon next to item you want to configure.
Click Components; this is where components are assigned to items.
Click the drop-down menu under "Available Component Categories". Select one of the categories presented. The components within the category chosen will display in the "Components" box.
To assign a component to the item, click Batch Modifications then click the checkbox for "Available". Click the checkbox for "Default" to automatically apply the component to the item when it is ordered.
Layer pricing
To configure the price of layers, navigate to the components site.
Note:
Adding more components to an item will adjust the overall price of the components.
It is advisable to decrease the price of layers as they increase, if the portions will be smaller (think of a pizza–the space is limited, so the portions for each layer decrease as layers are added).
Rules
Click a component on the left-hand side to configure its pricing rules.
All rules only apply to the category selected.
Rule | Description |
---|---|
Minimum Required | Require an amount of components to place the order |
Maximum Allowed | Limit how many components that can be ordered |
Maximum Unique | Limit how many of each components that can be ordered |
First # components are free | The first given amount of components will have no cost; all additional components will be charged |
Components after # are free | Components after a given amount will have no cost; all previous components will be charged |
Default components are free | Any components marked as "Default" will have no cost |
In the example above, the rules are configured as so:
- There is no minimum requirement of components
- 10 layers of the component may be added
- 10 of each available component from the cheese components category may be added
- The first component is free
- Components will never be free (except for the first one)
- Default components are not free either
Operation
In this example, the item's default price is $3.00, without components. The component category's rules for this item are for the first component to be free. All additional components will increase the price.
2 layers
3 layers
4 layers
