Add Packaging to Delivery Items

Scroll Prev Top Next More

You may offer some menu items as both delivery or take-out and eat-in order types. If you are using Inventory to track the usage of product packaging (for example, pizza boxes) you will need to include the packaging in the item contents of items for take-out or delivery, but exclude it from eat-in items. You can do this by creating extra Item Contents nodes that are restricted to the order types requiring packaging. Follow the steps below.

Note If you are not tracking the usage of packaging items such as pizza boxes when an item is sold, you do not need to complete this procedure. Skip to the next step.
