Create or Modify a Modifier Group

Create or Modify a Modifier Group

Modifier Groups organize modifiers into lists that can be assigned to an item from the Back Office. The modifiers can then be selected as preparation note on the assigned item from the Touchscreen. Modifier groups reduce the need for servers to manually type out notes for items that regularly require add-ons, adjustments, or options.

*NOTE: To attach a group of items to another item, see the article Create or Modify a Choice List.
