Non-Food Items

Non-Food Items are menu items in CLEARVIEW that you would like to account for separately (either partly or wholly) from your regular menu items. These could be deposits included in a menu item, merchandise that isn't your primary sales, etc.

To access Non-Food Items settings:

Click on on the quick links bar from any page.
In the Settings window:

Settings associated to a page automatically show in the List box. If the setting that you want to access is in the List box, you can skip step a.
1. Select Financial from the Filter drop-down list.
2. Click on Non-Food Items from the List box in the left pane.

The following information is displayed on the settings page:

Item Description: The name of the menu item that's been classified (partly or wholly) as a non-food item.
Calculation Method:
- Percentage of Sales Amount indicates that the amount considered as non-food sales is a percentage of the total sales of the menu item.
- Fixed Amount indicates that the amount considered as non-food sales is a fixed amount per menu item sold.
Rate:
- If the calculation method is Fixed Amount, it is the amount per menu item sold that is considered as non-food sales.
- If the calculation method is Percentage of Sales Amount, it is the percentage of sales of the menu item that is considered as non-food sales.
The remainder of the menu sales amount (after deducting the portion attributed to non-food sales) will be treated as regular sales.
Status:
- Active indicates that the sales (as per the rate) of the item are presently being deducted from the Gross Sales, along with a few other components, to arrive at the Adjusted Gross.
- Inactive indicates that the sales of the item are being treated like any other regular menu item.

Sales of non-food items are listed separately as Non Food Sales on the Summary, Stations, Cashier Report and Accounting Summary pages.
