Bromcom Dinners – Amending a Dinner Menu

Issue
A future dinner menu needs to be amended (for example, replacing an existing meal with a vegetarian option such as Roast Quorn), but meal selections have already been made.

Resolution

To amend a dinner menu that already has future meal selections assigned:

1. Navigate to Students.
2. Select the affected students (or Select All if appropriate).
3. Choose Actions > Dinner Meal Selection.
4. Select the relevant meal and clear the existing meal selections.

Once the future meal selections have been cleared, you will be able to amend the dinner menu and add the new option, such as Roast Quorn.

Alternative Option

If you do not wish to clear existing selections, you can:

1. Create a replacement menu containing the revised meal options.
2. Favour the new menu within the Clashes screen.
3. Ask parents to rebook their meal choices against the new menu.

Outcome
Clearing future meal selections allows the existing menu to be amended. Alternatively, creating a replacement menu enables the updated meal choice to be offered without modifying the original menu, although parents will need to rebook their selections.
