How to attach modifiers to menu items
Modifiers created in your POS will show in the modifiers database. Your modifiers may exist in your POS without being attached to any menu item (global options). If this is the case, you're able to attach them to each menu item in me&u.
1. How to create a new modifier group
- Go to Your Menu > Menu Items.
- Find the item you want to edit and click on the menu item text to open it.
- Click View item modifiers and upsells.
- Click Add new Modifier Group.
- Name the group. For example, "Remove", "Add", etc.
- Select Type should be multi so customers can select more than one item on the list.
- Select whether a selection is required or optional by the customer.
- Select Display Options whether the list of modifiers would be Collapsed, Expanded or Hidden.
- Collapsed: A drop list occurs when this option is selected. It is ideally used to make the menu item look neater. It can be selected when selecting dietary requirements.
- Expanded: A visible list where the customer can choose what they want and select from the relevant options.
- Hidden: The modifier is hidden from the menu but is visible when the receipt has been printed in the kitchen. Commonly used for set menus.
For a group to be hidden, it must be required and have a single selection - For Ordering Type, keep it blank if you want it to be available in all ordering types. This is used as a filter. If you want the modifier group to appear on dine-in menu only, select dine-in.
- Click Create.
- Add modifiers to your group by typing them into the add modifier section under your new group and selecting the modifier when it appears.
- Check the details are correct, especially the price.
Make sure that the modifier group ID is DoshiiGlobalOptions.
If the modifier does not appear when you type it in, check in your POS if it has been added. You may need to sync Impos to Doshii. You will find the steps here. Also, try refreshing the page.
