Diet Types
NOTE The Vegan and Pescatarian Diet Types are being rolled out in 2021.
NOTE The screenshot is from the new users interface, for more detail about this please refer to New User Interface - Meal Manager Menus Module.
To restrict users from being able to select Items with conflicting Diet Types the Diet Type tab [1] contains a check list of dietary restrictions for cultural or religious purposes e.g. Halal.
When a Diet Type (i.e. Halal [2]) is selected any conflicting Diet Types will be Un-selectable [3] (greyed out), this applied to the following:
- If Suitable for Vegan is ticked Admin users can also select Suitable for Vegetarian, Suitable for Pescatarian and Suitable for Halal.
- If Suitable for Vegetarian is ticked Admin users can also select Suitable for Halal, Suitable for Vegan, Suitable for Pescatarian.
- If Suitable for Pescatarian is ticked Admin users can also select Suitable for Vegan, Suitable for Vegetarian and Suitable for Halal.
- If Suitable for Halal is ticked Admin users can also select Suitable for Vegetarian, Suitable for Pescatarian, Suitable for Vegan and Contains Beef.
- If Contains Beef is ticked Admin users can also select Contains Pork and Suitable for Halal.
- If Contains Pork is ticked Admin users can also select Contains Beef.
Legacy Conflicting Diet Types
When an existing client is moved to the new Diet Type logic a script will be run to identify and edit any conflicting Diet Types. The script will be forced to remove the least impactful Diet Type i.e. if a Menu Item is set to Suitable for Halal and Contains Pork then Halal will be removed to minimise the risk of a Menu Item that contains Pork being made available to a Muslim student
Conflicting Legacy Diet Types:
- Suitable for Halal + Contains Pork
- Suitable for Vegetarian + Contains Pork and, or Contains Beef

Variable Meal Pricing by Year
Meal prices are currently defined in Menus Items and Payments Admin. All these prices are defined per Student Type e.g. Nursery, Student, etc. With the introduction of Meal prices by year group, prices will be defined at two more levels, the price priority is given in following hierarchy:
- Year pricing set against Menu Items
- Type pricing set against Menu Items
- Year pricing set against a Site
- Type pricing set against a Site
Go to Menus > Items > select an Item [1] > Prices by year tab [2] > in the Meal price (£) column [3] to set the item price for each year
A Meal price by year set to £0.00 in Prices by Year reverts to the Student Type prices on the Details tab [1] (Nursery Price, Child Price, & Special Price).
In the Meal prices (£) [2] section set the item price for each Student Type and click Save [3] when done.
NOTE If the Meal price is undefined (null) it is considered as £0.00.
