How To Create Flights In Arryved Portal
What Is a Flight?
A Flight is a grouped offering of menu items from one Item Type. Flights can be anything from beer, cider, spirits, tacos, sliders, etc! This article will show you how to create and customize a Flight in Arryved Portal using the Flight Item Tag.
Prerequisites
To create a Flight you must have Unit Sizes and Item Types created.
The individual Items in the Flight exist in your inventory with proper Unit Sizes and Item Types assigned.
Limitations
Flights are between 2 and 8 options.
Flights can't have Modifiers or Forced Modifiers.
Flight options populate a list from one of your Item Types. A Flight can only pull from 1 Item Type, and the entire Item Type will be the list.
Flights will print to 1 printer. Individual Flight items cannot print to different printers.
In Arryved reporting, Flights are recorded as a single Item when sold. The individual child Items sold within the Flight are also individually reported. Keep this in mind and beware of double-reporting on Flights in your taxes.
The order in which the Flight items print on a ticket is determined by a Location Preference that can be adjusted by an Arryved Support Specialist.
How It Works
You'll create an Inventory Item to be the Flight as a whole. The Individual Flight options should already exist as their own Inventory Items. Adding the Flight Item Tag to the Inventory Item tells the system that this item is a Flight and unlocks the Flight Tool where you'll customize the Flight offering.
Head to your Arryved Portal.
From the left side navigation, click Inventory.
Click on an Inventory Folder for the Flight to live in, or create a new folder if desired.
Click New Item + to create a new Flight.
Follow the basic steps for Inventory Item creation.
Use Printer Override if you want the Flight to print to a different destination than the one assigned to the Item Type.
Scroll down to the Tags dropdown and click to release that field.
From the Tags dropdown, select Flight.
Once you add the Flight Item Tag, the Flight Settings will appear. Use the dropdowns to customize your flight.
Click Save when you are finished.
