# Screens Overview

#### Weight Modifiers

This section explains how to create weighted modifiers that will then be linked to a sales item. A modifier can be:

An item that automatically comes with another item. In many cases the customer can choose the modifier, such as pasta salad or French fries.

A specification that the customer makes on the order, such as medium or rare for a steak.

A weighted modifier allows to deal with included food items of varying values.

#### Preferential Screen Setup

Define the contents of your preferential screens.

#### Screens Layout Setup

The Screen Layout setup function allows to customize the screen structure to your specific operation needs.

#### Variable List Setup

Enter the sales items you want to go on your variable lists.

In order to provide ordering flexibility, Maitre'D allows to assign lists of items to buttons on preferential screens. The purpose of variable lists is to:

Save space on the preferential screen.

Access similar items using a single button.

For example, you could set up a list called " Favorite desserts ", and a list of popular desserts would appear whenever a server selected that list.

#### Macro / CMD List Setup

The Macro List Setup option allows to add a sequence of commands on a single button of the Order Screen. This is useful for often-used button combinations, or to force procedures on the workstations.

The CMD List Setup option allows to add command buttons you want to have linked to your CMD list.

#### Mandatory division

Mandatory Divisions force servers to choose included items when necessary. They are configured by revenue center, so different revenue centers can have different mandatory divisions.
