Creating Modifier Items

Users can create modifiers items to add to an item or modifier group. Modifiers allow customers to select meal options and side dishes when added to items individually or as part of a modifier group. In the example below, a Meat Temperature (Rare) will be added to Item Maintenance as a modifier item. Once the modifier item has been added to Item Maintenance, users can attach the modifier item directly to an item or add the modifier item to a modifier group.
