Restaurant POS Setup Guide: Modifier Groups That Actually Work
Bread POSOriginal article ↗
A practical setup guide on structuring categories, required vs optional modifiers, and kitchen routing — so a burger combo doesn't open every add-on and kid's meals don't slow the line.
Key takeaways
- Group modifiers by decision type: size, temp, side, sauce, toppings — not one giant list.
- Required only when the kitchen truly needs a choice; too many prompts slow service.
- Popular items should be easy to find; modifier paths should differ by item type.
- Test with BOH before go-live — ticket routing and modifier order matter as much as pricing.
