Modifiers exist to allow a server or cashier to provide specific instructions for how to prepare an item. This includes special requests, such as 'Lite Mustard' and 'No Mayo,' a requirement such as meat temperature, 'Steak - Medium Rare,' or an option on a side, such as 'Salad - Ranch Dressing.' Modifiers also allow you to charge extra for additional ingredients, such as 'Add Bacon.' Modifier groups enable you to easily locate modifier items on the Point-of-Sale (POS).

Effective with POS v6.18, you can select the menu and modifier items on the same screen, reducing multiple screen transitions. The available modifiers for the selected item appear by tapping the edit button or the item header, making order entry more efficient and increasing speed of service.

• Log in to the POS and start a new guest check.

  

• Tap Point of Sale (POS).

• Select a category from the list or search for menu items using the search bar at the top.

  
  The submenu screen appears based on the category. As you tap an item, the selected item with its quantity appears at the bottom and is added to the ticket. A toast message appears when the item is added. The ticket access point icon at the top shows the number of items added to the ticket.

  If there is a required modifier for the selected category, red warning icon appears. Tap Edit Item to view the list of modifiers. A red dot appears next to the required modifier group name. As you scroll down the list of modifier groups, a red badge appears with a bullet next to the modifier group name. Swipe left on the listed modifier groups at the top of the screen to navigate to a specific modifier group or scroll down the list of modifier groups, and make your selections.

  

  If you attempt to pay for the order without selecting a required modifier, a warning message appears, prompting you to make the required selections. Add the required modifiers, and tap Done to proceed to the payment.

  If there are nested modifiers for the selected category, such as when you select a Salad item under the Sides modifier group, additional modifier groups like Dressings and Sauces appear.

  Tap a dressing option, such as Italian—this reveals further nested modifier group like Appetizers. Next, choose an appetizer option, such as Caesar Salad Dressing, and tap Done.

  To make changes, tap the pencil icon to edit a modifier item, or use the close icon to remove it, if needed. On the check, a nested modifier appears indented under the parent modifier for easy identification.
