Add-Ons and Modifiers

This article explains how to manage add-ons and modifiers for menu items in the iMenu360 online ordering platform. Follow the steps below to access and edit add-ons and modifiers in the Menu Manager.

1. Navigate to Menu Manager:
   • Once logged in, click the Menu Manager feature.
   • Choose the menu you would like to edit. Ensure it corresponds with the correct location by checking under the "Restaurant Locations Using This Menu" column.
   • Select the Add-Ons tab to access menu add-ons.

Add-ons are extra items or options that guests can choose to enhance or customize their order. Unlike modifiers, which typically adjust how a dish is prepared, add-ons are additional components that can be added to a menu item, usually at an additional cost.

For example:

• Adding extra cheese or pepperoni to a pizza.
• Adding bacon to a burger.
• Adding guacamole to a taco.

Key Points About Add-ons:

• They usually increase the price of the item.
• Guests can choose one or more add-ons depending on the options provided.
• Add-ons are typically displayed during the ordering process, allowing guests to personalize their meal.

1. View Add-Ons:
   
• In the correct Menu Manager, click the Add-Ons feature at the top to view all available add-ons for the menu items.
  
2. Create a New Add-On:
   
• Click the red Create New Addon button.
  
• In this section, you can:
  
• Edit Add-On Name: Define the name of the add-on.
  
• Edit Add-On Description: Provide a description for the add-on to clarify its purpose.
• Edit Display Type: Choose AllowOne or Multiple (The guest can choose one or multiple options. Please ignore other display types.)
• Option Modifier 1: This option modifier allows the guest to modify the add on, for example, in the case of a pizza, choose Full-Left-Right and a guest can choose if the toppings will be on the full pizza, left side, or right side.
• Option Modifier 2: This second option modifier allows the guest to modify the add on in a different way, for example, in the case of a pizza, choose x1x2x3x4 and the guest can multiply the amount of toppings up to 4 times.
• Add On Type: Ignore
• Add blank option: Click this button to create add on options
• Option Name: Name of toppings
• Seq: The sequence in which the add ons are displayed
• Portions: Price for each portion of the add on. For example, in the case of pizza toppings, if you have 4 pizza sizes, small, medium, large, extra large, then you will have 4 different prices to add per each add on. Each topping will have a different price based on the size the guest chooses on your menu.

• AllowOne: Allows guests to select only one modifier option.
  
• Multiple: Allows guests to select multiple modifiers (useful for items like pizza toppings).
  
• Note: Please ignore other options in the Display Type dropdown.

Add-On Option Modifiers are additional settings or choices related to an add-on that allow guests to further customize how the add-on is applied to their order. These modifiers provide flexibility, such as adjusting the portion or deciding how the add-on is distributed across an item.

For example, in the context of a pizza:

• Full-Left-Right Modifier: When adding extra toppings like pepperoni, the guest can choose whether they want the toppings on the whole pizza (Full), or only on the left or right half.
• x1x2x3x4 Modifier: This option lets guests choose how many times the add-on is applied. For example, they can double, triple, or quadruple the amount of a topping, like extra cheese.

Key Points About Add-On Option Modifiers:

• They allow guests to refine how the add-on is applied (e.g., portion control or placement on the dish).
• They can influence how the add-on is visually or quantitatively applied to a menu item.
• These modifiers can sometimes increase the price based on the quantity or complexity chosen.

1. View Modifiers:
   
1. In the correct Menu Manager, click the Modifiers feature at the top.
   
2. Create a Modifier Group
• What is a Modifier Group?
• Modifiers are grouped under Modifier Groups. The Modifier Group is displayed like add-ons allowing the restaurant to choose AllowOne or Multiple.
  
• An example of a modifier group relevant to a burger where AllowOne would be selected allowing only one modifier to be selected in the group is "Rare, Medium, Well-Done."
  
• An example of a modifier group relevant to a burger where Multiple would be selected allowing multiple modifiers to be selected in the group is "Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mustard, Ketchup, Pickle."
• An item can be associated with a maximum of 12 modifier groups.
