For restaurants in British Columbia, you must flag all sugared drinks on the menu to make sure the appropriate tax is applied.

To mark items as sugared drinks, add the tax_category property with value SUGARED_DRINK to every item that should be taxed as a sugared drink.

{
  "name": "Sugary Soda",
  "description": "A 12oz can of classic soda.",
  "plu": "1234",
  "price": 200,
  "modifiers": [],
  "includes": [],
  "ingredients": [],
  "tax_category": "SUGARED_DRINK"
}

In cases where drinks should be bundled with other items, they must be added as a modifier option with the taxable price of that drink set in a_la_carte_price field within that option. The modifier option (not the item) should have the tax_category property with value SUGARED_DRINK applied.
