Modifiers are an essential tool for offering customization to your customers. They allow them to personalize items like sandwiches, salads, and beverages according to their preferences. Effectively managing modifiers can significantly boost customer experience and satisfaction.
Key Components of Modifiers
Modifier Group: Categories of customization options, like 'Toppings', 'Sizes', or 'Sides', that can be attached to items.
Modifier Item: Individual options within a modifier group that customers can select, like 'Extra Cheese' in a 'Toppings' group.
Item: This is the main item customers see on the menu. Attach modifier groups to these items to enable customization options for your customers.
Modifier Groups
Modifier groups are essentially categories of customization options, like 'Toppings', 'Sizes', or 'Sides', that can be attached to items.
Key Points
Item Selection: Label each group as either optional (no selection needed) or required (selection needed to complete the order).
Selection Limits: Set a minimum and maximum number of selections for each group.
Group Naming: Choose clear and intuitive names for groups to guide customers. For example, 'Toppings' or ‘Choose Toppings’.
Item Order within Groups: Organize items in each group for easy selection and an enhanced customer experience.
Modifier Items
Modifier items are individual options within a modifier group that customers can select, like 'Extra Cheese' in a 'Toppings' group. These items live within the inventory and may be created like any other. Any inventory item can be assigned to a modifier.
Sold independently
The 'Sold Independently' toggle dictates if an inventory item is available for independent purchase. When on, it's sold as a standalone product; when off, it's only available as part of a modifier group.
Toggle states
ON: The item is sold independently and appears on Delivery Partner menus.
OFF: The item is not visible on the store menu but can be a selectable option in a modifier group.
Required fields
The field requirements differ based on the item's toggle state:
Input Field | Sold Independently | Not Sold Independently |

Price | Required | Required |
Description | Optional | Optional |
Size | Required | Optional |
Count | Required | Optional |
Category | Required | Optional |

Items
Items are the main items on the menu. Assign modifier groups to these items to offer customizable options to your customers. The arrangement of modifier groups under an item dictates how it will be displayed to the end customers.
