Setting up Ala Carte Purchases
You can allow your child to make “A La Carte” purchases in the cafeteria. These items are any extra items available for sale at mealtime in addition to the breakfast or lunch meals.
In the “User Participant Record” Screen, locate the A La Carte section of the screen. There are four fields that can be set by the parent.
Allow Ala Carte Purchase.
This field is automatically set to “TRUE” which means your child can make A La Carte purchases. If this field is set to “FALSE” then that child will not be allowed to buy A La Carte items at all.
A La Carte Limit Type
There are 4 options that can be set here (the “Allow A La Carte Purchase” option must be set to true for these options to work). They are as follows:
• NONE – with this option set there are no limit types set for A La Carte purchases.
• Account Tender – with this option set you can limit the amount of account money your child can spend on A La Carte purchases.
• All Tenders – with this option set you can limit the amount of all tenders spent on A La Carte purchases (cash tenders, charge tenders, and account tenders)
• Cash Only – with this option set you can limit the amount of cash tenders spent on A La Carte purchases
Limit Amount. This field sets the limit on the amount of money your child can use for these A La Carte purchases. Click in the field and type in the amount you want. Use the format XX.XX. For example, type 5.00 for $5.00.
Limit Interval. This field sets interval for the Limit Amount. Click in the drop down box to make a selection. There are three options to choose from. They are as follows:
• Daily – with this option set the limit amount will be daily
• Weekly – with this option set the limit amount will be weekly
• Monthly – with this option set the limit amount will be monthly
Once you have completed editing the settings, click on the “Submit” button under this section in order for the changes to be set.
