Toast's official guide to building modifier groups — required vs optional prompts, pricing strategies, POS display order, and why prep-station routing starts with how modifiers are structured.
Key takeaways
- Modifier groups handle toppings, sides, prep styles, and upcharges — not free-text notes.
- Required groups with POS prompts catch missing choices before tickets hit the kitchen.
- Modifier group sorting controls display order on POS — critical when expo reads tickets left-to-right.
- Size- and sequence-based pricing (pizza halves, deli sizes) lives at the modifier group level.
