This document will walk you through how to set up Default Restrictions. 

Districts will set these in order for the restrictions set for a la carte items to work correctly. They can be set for each category created. This is a good area to troubleshoot if a student is able to purchase a la carte items that were restricted. It could be that the item purchased was not in a category that was set to be restrict able.


1. Go to POS> Configuration> Default Restrictions. 


2. Select which Site Type to set the restrictions, then select the maximum number of restricted items allowed per day. Click Apply when done. 



3. Select which categories you want to make restrict able by check marking off the box for each category, then click Apply. 




You can also set Restrictions within a Students Account. 


1. Go to POS> Patrons> Students. Enter the student's account, and click on the Allergies/Restrictions tab. 



2. To add a Menu Item Restriction to the Student's Account, click Add. 



3. Select the Menu Item from the list, and click OK.



4. The Menu Item is now added as a restriction to the account. 



5. Set A La Carte Item or Purchase Restrictions. 


Note: This restricts how many A LA CARTE Items the student's can purchase. This does not affect reimbursable meals. 


6. Enter in the Restrictions, and click Save when you are done. 



7.   Click Save at the bottom, and you will receive a green confirmation message letting you know the changes were saved successfully.
