Create or Modify a Choice List

Create or Modify a Choice List

Choice Lists are groups of items, such as side options or an alcohol list, that can be attached to another item. On the Touchscreen, choice lists function similarly to modifier groups. However, unlike modifiers, the items that make up a Choice List can adjust the price of the parent item and can be reported on in the Back Office.

*NOTE: To attach a group of modifiers to an item, see the article Create or Modify a Modifier Group.
