Optional Modifiers™

According to the client’s request, the server has the ability to modify any aspect of an item (ingredient, cooking time, special instructions, etc.) by simply activating the optional modifier button. Once activated, the server can then select various actions from the Modifier Control window in combination with the available ingredients from the associated Modifiers window.

To further simplify your menu definitions, you only need to create an ingredient in the Modifiers window one time, no matter how many price levels are required. This means that you can set the extra and replacement values differently for each price level on the same item.

In the following three (3) examples, the final price of the Small Pizza will increase by $3.50, but the Large Pizza is increased by either $9.00 or $4.00, depending on what is being replaced.

Example #1: Small Pizza

Extra cheese + $1.00 Replace Pepperoni – $1.00 With Shrimp + $3.50

Explanation:
The Small Pizza is associated with Price Level 1.
The Extra value associated with the cheese for this Price Level is $1.00.
Therefore, a net increase in price for this modification is $1.00.
Similarly, the Replacement value of the pepperoni is $1.00, whereas the shrimp has a Replacement value of $3.50. Therefore, when the pepperoni is replaced with shrimp, the net increase in price for this replacement will be $2.50.

In total, this Small Pizza will have an additional charge of $3.50.

Example #2: Large Pizza

Extra cheese + $4.00 Replace Pepperoni – $3.00 With Shrimp + $8.00

Explanation :

The Large Pizza is associated with Price Level 3.

The Extra value associated with the cheese for this Price Level is $4.00.
Therefore, a net increase in price for this modification is $4.00.

Similarly, the Replacement value of the pepperoni is $3.00, whereas the shrimp has a Replacement value of $8.00. Therefore, when the pepperoni is replaced with shrimp, the net increase in price for this replacement will be $5.00.

In total, this Large Pizza will have an additional charge of $9.00.

Example #3: Large Pizza

Extra cheese + $4.00 Replace Shrimp + $8.00 With Pepperoni – $3.00

Explanation:

The Large Pizza is associated with Price Level 3.

The Extra value associated with the cheese for this Price Level is $4.00.
