Modifiers let customers customise products. They’re organised into modifier groups - each group contains options and rules about how many can be selected.
Examples

| Choose your size | Small, Medium, Large | Required, pick exactly 1 |
| Add toppings | Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Olives… | Optional, pick up to 5 |
| Select your base | White rice, Brown rice, Noodles | Required, pick 1 |
| Extra sauces | Ketchup, Mayo, BBQ… | Optional, pick any |

Set Min: 0 to make a modifier group optional. Set Min: 1 or higher to make it required.
Allow Multiple of Same Option
Enable Allow customers to select an option more than once for cases like:
- “2x extra cheese”
- “3x bacon”
You can optionally set a specific limit per option.
Free Modifiers
Set a number of Free Modifiers to give customers a certain number of free selections before charging. Useful for:
- “First 3 toppings free, then £0.50 each”
- “Includes 2 sauces, extra sauces £0.30”
Modifier Options
Each option within a group has:
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Name | Option name shown to customers |
| Price | Additional cost (can be £0) |
| Original Price | For showing discounts on options |
| POS ID | For POS integration |
| Tax Rate | Override default tax |
| Default Qty | Pre-select this option |
| In Stock | Toggle availability |
Default Quantity
Pre-select options by setting a default quantity. The total of all default quantities cannot exceed the group’s maximum.
Option Availability
Toggle In Stock off to temporarily hide an option without deleting it.
Modifier options can have their own allergen information, dietary tags, and nutrition data. When a customer selects options, the combined allergen information from the product and all selected modifiers is shown.
See Tags & Allergens for details.
Display Settings
Initial Display Setting
Control how the modifier group appears on the product page:
| Setting | Behaviour |
|---|
| Expanded | Options visible immediately (default) |
| Collapsed | Options hidden behind a tap/click |
Print as Products
Enable Print modifier options as products to print each selected modifier on its own line on receipts, rather than as sub-items under the product.
Reusing Modifier Groups
You can attach existing modifier groups to multiple products:
- Open a product’s Modifiers tab
- Click Add Existing Group
- Select from your existing modifier groups
Changes to a shared modifier group affect all products using it.
Editing a shared modifier group updates it everywhere it’s used. Create a new group if you need different options for specific products.
Reordering
- Drag modifier groups to change their order on the product
- Drag options within a group to change their order
Deleting Modifier Groups
- Open the modifier group
- Click Remove Group
This removes the group from the current product. If it’s shared with other products, it remains on those products.
Tips
- Name groups clearly - “Choose your size” not “Size options”
- Order options logically - Smallest to largest, or most popular first
- Use £0 options - For substitutions or preferences (e.g., “No onions”)
- Set sensible limits - Too many options overwhelms customers
- Use free modifiers - Encourages customisation without complexity
