My 2700 does not have a touchscreen ~ only keyboard ~ and I need to know how to program keys that will bring up choice options. Do you have a step by step method you can offer me? Thank you!
 
Are you familiar with going into the 2700's database and changing menu item names, prices etc?
 
Yes but I now have more menu items than I have keys on my keyboard and want to consolidate where possible. Example, I have 4 chicken dishes with a key for each. I would like to have just one key with a condiment window pop up for 1 of my 4 chicken choices. Each key has 2 windows for side items and another for salad dressing choices. I need to know how to create a window for these choices. Is is possible to have more than 2 windows to pop up for each key?

 
If you're familiar w/programming the keyboard file. Go to the keybrd and assign a key location with 0080. Then go into menu item file and program a menu item's keybrd six digit code as such, 000080. (In the keybrd column of a menu item, the 1st 4 digits are the actual key location on the keybrd, the 5th & 6th digit are the NLU code) Your 2700 has 12 possible NLU keys (0080 - 008B)

Now put a # in the NLU column for the menu item. Such as 1,2,3 etc. (Dont need leading zero's) When you press the key on the keybrd that you assigned 0080, a list will pop up with every menu item that has 80 in the 5th & 6th digit of the keybrd column. To ring up those items just press the # IE:1,2,3 and press enter. Once you know the #'s, just press the # 1st, then press the 0080 button (much faster)

In the database it'll look like this for multiple menu items programmed with the same NLU code.

Menu Item Keybrd NLU#
Chicken #1 000080 000000000001
Chicken #2 000080 000000000002
Chicken #3 000080 000000000003

Assign NLU's 0081, 0082 etc for additional NLU lists to spots on the keybrd and you should be able to free up lots of space.

Be careful using condiments to address your need, this is a much cleaner approach.
