Define type of payers and set up food price
type of payer, food price
In order to determine the amount payable by individual boarders, and the size of the meal portion, you need to set 'Types of payers & Food-Price'.
You can find these settings in the top drop-down menu:
'Module settings (Administration)' in the 'Canteen' module when logged in as the administrator or the person entitled to the Canteen module.
There you can modify the original defined payer type or add your own types (a) and also define the periods for which the data is valid (b) (e.g. in case of a meal pricelist change).
Do not forget to save the changes made in the 'Types of payers & Price List' table.
