Modifiers — the choices a diner picks on a dish

Not everyone wants the Margherita plain. Modifiers make those choices part of the dish rather than a scribbled note.

The rule

Write a group once and attach it to a category, not to each dish. On a thirty-pizza menu that’s the difference between one job and thirty.

The three pieces

  • An option is the leaf — Extra mozzarella, No garlic, Gluten-free base. Each has a name and a price change: +฿60, +฿0, or a discount. It can also link to a stock item so the kitchen’s counts follow the choice.
  • A group is the bundle that holds them — Pizza extras, Cottura, Pasta type. The group sets the rules: single-select (pick exactly one, like rare / medium / well-done) or multi-select (stack as many as you like). Mark it required and the diner can’t order without choosing.
  • The attachment is where the group lands — one dish, or a whole category.

Setting one up

  1. Go to Modifiers and tap + New group.
  2. Name it as the diner will read it — Pizza extras, Cottura.
  3. Pick single or multi select, set a min and max if you want, and decide whether it’s required.
  4. Add each option with its name and price change.
  5. Attach the group — from the menu item itself, or from the category so every dish underneath inherits it.

What the diner sees

Any dish with an active group shows Customize & add. The picker uses your group name as the heading, a Pick one or Pick any hint, a Required badge where it applies, and each option with its price. The total updates live, and the button stays disabled until every required group has an answer.

Good to know

  • The same picker appears wherever the dish is shown, so what you configure once is what everyone sees.
  • Prices lock in when the order is placed. Raising Extra mozzarella later never rewrites one already made.
  • Deactivating an option removes it immediately — it can’t be picked from a page that was already open.
