o  To add an item to the menu, drag and drop the item on the menu palette.

o  You can add an item to multiple categories.

o  You can optionally create a separate tab for each serving period or to support additional categories. Each menu palette can have up to four tabs. Click the + sign tab to add a tab.

•    Double-click an item on the menu tab to remove the item. The item will reappear in the Items list.

•    To select a single meal item to auto sale, click on the button. A red A is added to the left bottom corner of the button to indicate that it is an auto sale item. You can only select one item for auto sale and it must be a meal item (not an a la carte item). To remove auto sale from an item, click the red A.
