Modifiers — the choices a diner picks on an item

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

The rule

Write a group once and attach it to a category, not to each item. 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 item, 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 item underneath inherits it.

What the diner sees

Any item with an active group shows Customize & add, on the menu and on the dish’s own page. The picker uses your group name as the heading, a hint like Pick one or Pick at least 2, a Required badge where it applies, and each option with its price. The total updates live. The button waits until every required group has an answer, and until a group with a minimum has enough picks.

The choices then show under the dish in the cart, in the WhatsApp message, in Online Orders, on the table screen and in your order alerts.

Good to know

  • The same picker appears wherever the item 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.
