Items Modifiers

Item Modifiers

Item Modifiers allow restaurants to customize menu items during ordering. They enable flexible options such as extra toppings, spice preferences, portion upgrades, and special preparation instructions.

Item Modifiers List

1. What Are Item Modifiers?

Item Modifiers are selectable customization options attached to menu items. These options appear during POS ordering and allow staff or customers to personalize dishes without creating multiple menu entries.

Example:

  • Extra Cheese (+₹30)
  • No Onion
  • Less Spicy
  • Large Size Upgrade
Modifiers automatically adjust pricing and order instructions sent to the kitchen.

2. Modifier Groups vs Item Modifiers

The system separates customization into two structured levels:

  • Modifier Group — A category that organizes options (e.g., Spice Level).
  • Item Modifier — The selectable option (e.g., Mild, Medium, Spicy).
Think of Modifier Groups as folders and Item Modifiers as items inside them.

  2. Navigate to Menu from the sidebar.
