When editing a menu, the Menu Course, Menu Choice and Choice Rule will be locked down by the underlying menu template, however you will be able to edit the meal choice, available textures and resident menu type, as shown below:


The meal choices available for selection here are based on the Choice Rule you have selected in the underlying menu template.  

If you need to add or remove meal choices that appear in this dropdown selection, you do this in Choice Rules.


The available textures are based on the textures selected in the recipe attached to your meal choice. 


If you would like to remove any textures from being attached to this meal choice, you can do this by clicking into the texture box to open the dropdown menu and then click on the checkbox to unselect the relevant texture type.  Only texture types added to the recipe itself will appear for selection:



The Resident Menu Type reflects which Resident types you would like this meal choice to apply to.  


All Residents are General by default, however within the General tab of a Resident profile, there is also the ability to select a Resident as having Additional Services or Dementia Choices only. For more information on setting up a Resident profile, click here.



Meal choices that appear in Edit Menu will automatically be ticked as applying to General and Additional Services Residents only. If you would like to change this, simply click into the Resident Menu Type box to open the dropdown menu and then click on the checkbox to select Dementia or unselect General and/or Additional Services, as needed.
