Adding a Modifier to Your Items

Modifiers allow customers to customize products, making them especially relevant for certain types of businesses, such as fast food restaurants or quick-service restaurants (QSRs), where customers often want to add extras or toppings (e.g., adding mushrooms to a pizza). For businesses like clothing stores or other non-food industries, modifiers may not be applicable.

Quick Setup Steps

1. Access the Modifiers Menu: In the Posterita Back Office, go to the Items Menu and select "Manage Modifiers".

1. Create a New Modifier: Click "Create" to add a new modifier.

- Enter the Modifier Name (e.g., Cheese, Extra Sauce).

- Specify the Selling Price if it applies.

- Assign the modifier to a relevant Category (e.g., Pizza, Beverages).

1. Save the Modifier: Click "Save" once you've entered the details.

1. Apply the Modifier to Items: When adding or editing an item, select the category you assigned the modifier to. The modifier will then be available as an option during point-of-sale transactions.

Important Tips

• Relevant to Your Business: Modifiers work best for businesses offering customization, like fast food restaurants, where you can add toppings, adjust portions, or offer extras.

• Attach Correct Prices: If modifiers involve additional charges (e.g., extra cheese), ensure you enter the appropriate price.

• Not Relevant for All: Businesses selling products that don't require customization (e.g., clothing or electronics) likely won't need modifiers.
