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
- Access the Modifiers Menu: In the Posterita Back Office, go to the Items Menu and select "Manage Modifiers".
- 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).
- Save the Modifier: Click "Save" once you've entered the details.
- 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.

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