The show cost per Resident per Day is calculated one of two ways -either Choice 1 or Percentage.
Choice 1 – this is the default.
- The checkboxes displayed are the first option for each menu course per meal service.
- All checkboxes are ticked by default.
- The calculation adds up each cost per serve of the items selected, and displays the 'Cost per Resident per Day' under the Week Day.
- Untick any of the checkboxes you do not want included in the calculation (if any) then click Save.
Percentage
- Each meal service, course and choice from the menu is displayed in the table format.
- Percentages for each Course need to total 100%.
- The calculation adds the cost per choice based on %, for example Lunch Main =60%[Choice1 cost]+25%[Choice 2 cost]+15%[Choice 3 cost], and displays the 'Cost per Resident per Day' under the Week Day.
- Enter the percentages, as desired, then click Save.
The Weekly average ($) is a summary of the Week day ($) totals for the selected week, divided by 7.
