What is a sub-modifier?
A sub-modifier is a secondary level of choice that appears under a regular modifier. It allows guests to further customize their selection and enables restaurants to build multi-level modifier flows.
Sub-modifiers help you build a more flexible and personalized ordering experience by adding another layer of customization to your menu. This is especially useful when modifiers need additional selections or preparation styles.
For example, a cheeseburger (item) with fries (modifier) can include bacon (sub-modifier), which can then be regular or extra crispy (decision for the sub-modifier).
When to use sub-modifiers
- For layered items with optional ingredients or cooking styles
- When you need pricing to adjust based on detailed choices
- When modifiers require additional decisions (ex. toppings that have preparation options)
What’s supported
- Up to 4 levels of customization: Item → Modifier → Sub-modifier → Decision
- Dynamic pricing based on selected sub-modifiers
- Works with inventory and alcohol governance rules
- Displayed on most kitchen tickets, KDS, receipts, and reports
