Setting up Allergens as Item Attributes

Allergens are set up as item attributes. For details on how to create attributes, see Attributes.

 

Allergens Attributes in Demo Data

In the Demo data, these 14 attributes have been created representing the 14 major allergens:

They all have the following setup:

  • Value Type is Weighted Option
  • The options are Yes (weight 3), Maybe (weight 2) and No (weight 1)
  • Option value No is Hidden on POS
  • Default Value is No
  • Value for Recipe is Calculated from Ingredients
  • Linking is Automatic
  • They are all Displayed on POS
  • They are all linked to the items in the FOOD division.

 

Two attribute groups have been created, Allergens-8 and Allergens-14. The Allergens-8 group contains the eight most common allergens:

 

The Allergens-14 attribute group contains the 14 major allergens:

 

These two groups have Value Type Weighted Option which means that they can only have attributes with weighted option assigned.
