Frequently asked questions

Does this limit apply only to my menu?

No. This planner sets organization-wide capacity for a date and meal type. Individual dish limits live in the menu editor.

Can I raise one dish instead?

Open its menu and use Raise, or edit Servings available. Increasing a dish cap does not raise the shared service cap.
