This article will explain how to create or edit menu item modifiers on your Point of Sale. Flipdish POS supports an unlimited number of modifiers meaning you can build modifiers within modifiers and customize the order entry flow as you desire.
Ex. A guest orders a green smoothie > staff selects the size > selects additions to the smoothie > selects the addition of protein powder > and selects the type of protein powder.
Modifiers can be nested within other modifiers to create a seamless order entry experience.
Note: There may be some limitations to the number of modifiers supported by third-party marketplaces. If you manage your marketplace menus from Flipdish POS, a separate diluted modifier menu may be required.
Requirements: You will need access to Portal.flipdish.com to be Able to edit the menu using your username and password.
Instructions:
Step 1 - Log into portal.flipdish.com with your email address and password. (Please note menu editing can't be done through the Point of sale device)
Step 2 – In the settings menu, locate Menu Editor on the left-hand side.
Step 3 - Select The option Modifiers.
Step 4 - When selecting Modifiers, this option allows you to specify how many modifier choices you'd like to create. In this example, we're editing the Drinks section and adding size options—Small, Medium, and Large—to the Juice Drink.
Step 5 -Select the option +New Modifier.
Step 6 -In this case, the options I want to add for the Juice Drink are Small, Medium, and Large. When you click on + New Modifier, you’ll be prompted to name the modifier group. I'll name it Size, since we’re giving customers the option to choose the size of their drink:
Step 7 -Once you name it click on ADD.
Step 8 -Now you will have the group of modifiers we will have to add the options inside of it.
Step 9 -Click the dropdown arrow on the left, then select New Option.
Step 10 -You’ll then be prompted to enter the name and price for each option. If an option is free, you can leave the price at 0, or you can set a price based on each modifier as needed.
Step 11 -Each time you enter a name and price, click Add to save it. You can repeat this process to add as many options as you'd like.
Step 12 -Now, as you can see, the options for my drink have been added.
Step 13 -Now it’s time to associate the modifier with the drink—in this case, the Juice Drink. To do this, click on the Categories tab at the top of the screen. Then, locate the section where your item is listed. In this example, the item is under the Drinks section.
Step 14 -Click on +Add Modifier.
Step 15 -And from there select the Option, Size that we just created. Click Apply Changes. You’ll now see that the options are successfully linked to the item we edited.
Step 16 -The last step is to publish the menu so the changes we made take effect on the online ordering system.
