🧩 Modifiers and Modifier Groups

Add customizable options like toppings, cooking preferences, and extras directly to your menu items using Modifiers and Modifier Groups.

🔍 What Are Modifiers?

Modifiers are add-ons or options customers can select when ordering a product.
They allow staff to customize the order without needing separate menu items.

🧠 Example:
For a “Burger” product, you could offer:

  • Add cheese (+$1)

  • No onions

  • Extra bacon (+$2)

🧩 Modifier Types

Single Modifiers

These are standalone options added directly to a product or variant.

Modifier Groups

These are organized sets of modifiers with the possibility of selection rules (e.g., "Choose up to 3").

Example:

  • Group Name: “Burger Toppings”

    • Lettuce

    • Tomato

    • Bacon (+$2)

    • Avocado (+$3)


✍️ How to Create a Modifier

  1. Go to the Modifiers section in the left-hand menu.

  2. Make sure you’re in the Modifiers tab (not Modifier Groups).

  3. Click the orange Create New Modifier button.

4. Fill in:

  • Name: How it appears in the POS

  • Description (optional)

  • Internal Note: Helps you search modifiers later (e.g., “Burger Toppings” or “Pasta Options”)

  • Set if the item is taxable

  • Disable quantity if not applicable

  • Price (if applicable)

🔍 Tip: Use clear internal notes like "Sauce choices" or "Side options"—this helps you stay organized when you have many modifiers.


📦 How to Create a Modifier Group

Once your single modifiers are created:

  1. Switch to the Modifier Groups tab.

  2. Click New Modifier Group.

  1. Fill in:

    • Internal Name: For Back Office use

    • Display Name: What staff sees in the POS

    • Min/Max selections (optional)

  2. Search and assign modifiers using the internal notes or the name of modifiers

  3. Click Save


📌 Best Practices

✅ Keep internal notes consistent for fast grouping

✅ Limit selections to avoid kitchen errors
✅ Use pricing to upsell (e.g., premium toppings)
✅ Test new groups in the POS to validate layout and flow
