🔧 What is an Item Class?
An Item Class is a grouping of related items (e.g. Drinks, Confectionery, Alcohol) used to:
📊 Generate more insightful reports (e.g. group all drinks together).
🎟️ Control discount and voucher eligibility (e.g. apply a voucher to all Popcorn, but not Drinks).
💵 Assign tax settings at the class level.
📈 Include or exclude the item class from Per Capita Reporting.
