Choices

Choices are used during ordering to enable additional selections of items, any choices associated to products must be configured to be able to be used within a menu.

The choices section enables additional information to be configured above that of Aztec Product Modelling so that when items are presented to on a menu they might contain longer names, descriptions and images.

Choices are configured with a display record which hold all of this information, there can be multiple display records added to one choice, this enables alternative information to be created against the same choice. When the products are added to a menu the required display record can be selected ensuring that menu shows the correct information to the guest during the ordering process.
