Modifiers

Modifiers are used to provide guests with options when ordering from the menu.

TIP: To keep things well organized on the menu, modifier groups should be narrow and have names relating directly to the products they modify. For example "Cheeseburger Toppings", "Dipping Sauce Choice", "Steak Cook Temp".

 Also, if you have different products that share some options, you’ll still want separate modifier groups unless the choices are identical for both products. For example, “Pizza Toppings” and “Sandwich Toppings” may share some ingredients but not all. Save your servers the headache of having to remember and prevent kitchen mistakes.

NOTE: Always remove modifiers from products before you delete the product. Modifiers that are in use (even for deleted products) may not be able to be deleted.

These settings name the modifier group and determine how modifiers within this group will function.

Adding Modifiers to Modifier Groups

Once you have created the modifier group, inside the modifier group you can add the modifiers you want to be available for the product.

• Next to the name of the modifier group, click the Edit Modifiers button

• At the top of the list click the Add Modifier button

  • Name -- Modifier name as it will appear on the POS
  • Up-Charge -- The additional price of this modifier when selected
  • SKU -- Enter an SKU if needed
  • Kitchen Printer Text -- Alternative text that prints to the kitchen, if different than the Modifier Name
  • Modifier Option -- Legacy setting. Do not use Modifier Options. Use Submodifiers Instead.
  • Available for online ordering -- When enabled, this modifier is available for products when ordering online.
  • Online Price -- Price for this modifier when ordering through Rezku OLO. If none is entered it will default to the POS price.

Choosing Modifier Group Products

To choose which products you apply a modifier group to:

• Click the Choose Products Button next to the modifier group you wish to apply to products
• Toggle the Sliders for the products this modifier group will apply to

Modifier Printers

(Added 10/22)

You can also print a product to a print queue conditionally, based on the modifier selected. This comes into play when the modifier is prepared at a station other than the parent product. For example, a burger that comes with a choice of fries or side salad. The salad needs to be made at the salad station when this modifier is selected.

To set modifier printers:

• Click the 3-dot menu next to the modifier name
• Select "Edit Printers" from the list
• In the popup, toggle on the print queue(s) that this modifier will print to.

NOTE: Modifiers do not need to be assigned to printers. The default behavior is for products with modifiers to print to the queue the product is assigned to. Modifier printers, when specified allow you to print the product to an ADDITIONAL print queue that it otherwise would not print to.

Edit Printers allows you to also print the product to another kitchen station when this modifier is selected.

Set the additional queue(s) to print the product to when this modifier is selected.

Submodifiers

Submodifiers allow us to nest another modifier group under a modifier. This allows more customization for your guests and better communication with the kitchen.

NOTE: There are some restrictions. Submodifiers can only nest one level deep. If a modifier in a group has any submodifiers already applied, that group can not be used as a submodifier in another group.

• Click the three-dot menu next to the name of the modifier you want to add a submodifier to.

• Select Edit Submodifiers

• Toggle the modifier group you would like to use as a submodifier for this modifier.

TIP: Submodifiers are applied on a per-modifier basis.

Choose "Edit Submodifiers"

In the Edit Submodifiers panel, use the toggles to select a modifier group. Click the group name to choose a default submodifier if desired.

Submodifier Styles

Submodifier styles are inherited from the parent modifier group.

To set submodifier styles:

• Click Edit Details next to the desired modifier group.
• In the Edit Modifier Group Details Panel, select the submodifier style for the POS and for online.

Modifier Ingredients

You can track use of ingredients for modifiers. Make sure the ingredient has already been added to the system in Inventory > Ingredients.

• Click the Edit Modifiers button to view the modifiers inside the group
• Click the 3 Dot Menu next to the modifier and select Edit Ingredients
• Fill in the amount box for the amount of the ingredient used
• Set the unit type

Choose Edit Ingredients from the menu

Enter the amount and the unit for the ingredient consumed when this modifier is ordered
