Taking a closer look at modifier options

When creating or editing a modifier option you can customise the following fields.

  • Name: type in the name that will appear to customers.
    • If you want to give customers the option to remove bacon or onion from their burger, you would name it “Remove bacon” or “Remove onion”.
    • If its a modifier that adds something to the item, you would name it “Add bacon” or “Add onion”.
  • Short name: type in how you’d like this modifier to appear when printed.
  • Available: toggle off if you do not want it to be available.
  • Display Price: write the price as you would like it to appear on the menu. For example, "2.0". This is what the customer will see on the menu. If you want a dollar sign to appear, include one, however, psychologically dollar signs are proven to reduce sales.
  • Price in Cents: make sure you multiply the price by 100 and there should be no decimal, so if the price was $2.00 you would enter 200. If it's $10.55 you would enter 1055. This is what the customer will be charged.
  • Tax rate: enter a number here if you wish to override the venue wide tax rate settings with a different tax rate.
  • Tax exempt: ignore this field.
  • Max quantity: type in the number you would like to limit a customer from ordering. If no limit, simply leave blank. If you do not see this field, that means that placing more than 1x of the same modifier is not supported by your POS.
  • POS ID: the identifier for the item or modifier within your Point Of Sale system. May also be called PLU/Product code/SKU, depending on your POS. Orders are sent from me&u to the POS using the POS ID so the printing and stock settings can align with what has been set up in the POS.
  • POS Group ID and POS group name: these are short names for easier identification when building your menu. They are not required fields.
