The last section is the Other Options grouping of buttons on the right side of the
screen. These buttons perform various tasks and are discussed below.
Chain Links
Click this button to provide an attachment of modifying screens to menu items. Each
menu item can have up to five chain links. When changing an item, check the chain
links to make sure they are correct for the new menu item.
Each item can be:
Linked (Lnk) – you can avoid modifying the item easily. All the regular
buttons at the bottom of the POS screen are available.
Modified (MDF) – easy to modify or not modify this item. Only the Menu
and Remove Last buttons at the bottom of the POS screen are available.
Forced (FRC) – you must modify the item or remove the last item. Only the
Remove Last button at the bottom of the POS screen is available.
EXAMPLE: When ordering a sirloin steak, the modifying screen of Mod
Temp is selected as a forced chain link so the server must make
a selection prior to moving on.

menu items, the last chain link always links the item back to its own screen

dish, and then back to the items’ screen group. Always mark the items’
screen group as Lnk.
