Attaching a modifier group to an item

Modifiers are usually used as ingredients for a main item. They can be part of the main item by default or as an add-on ingredient. A modifier can be a free text or an item

There are two ways to add a modifier group to an item:

Through the modifiers catalog: best suited for adding multiple items

Through the main item: best suited for individual item management or attaching ingredient modifier groups

Follow the steps below to attach a modifier group to an item:

Through the modifiers catalog

1. In Office, go to Menu > Modifier Groups and select the relevant group
   
   
2. There are three ways to edit a modifier group:
   • Hover over the name of the modifier group and select the Edit Icon to the right
   • Select the Edit Icon next to any of the modifiers

   • Select the Edit Icon on the far right of the screen

     

3. In the edit box under the Items tab, select Attach Items to Group and add the appropriate selections

    

   Select one of two options: 

   • Use First Placing Option: automatically places all ingredients in the item and allows them to be removed if needed. For example, a burger comes with lettuce, onion, pickles, tomato, and bacon, and any of them can be removed if needed
      
   • Available: shows all the ingredients on the side as optional. For example, adding cheese to a burger is optional, so it will appear on the side as an additional choice

   
   Set a minimum and maximum if needed:

   • No limit (default): the customer is not required to select a modifier and can select as many as they like 
   • Equal minimum and maximum: if the same number is set for both, the customer must select that number of modifiers. For example, if both minimum and maximum are set to 2, the customer must choose no more and no less than 2 modifiers
   • Different minimum and maximum: allows the customer to choose a range of modifiers. For example, setting the minimum to 0 means the customer is not required to select a modifier, but they can choose up to the maximum allowed
