How not to make too many buttons
« on: December 07, 2012, 12:31:27 am »
Hello
In my menu I have some dishes that have a choice of sauces or garnishes
like
goulash can be served with mashed potatoes or rice

For some dishes there s a choice of up to 4 sauces

What should I do not to create buttons like (goulash with rice) and (goulash with mashed potatoes) but to let kitchen know what to serve with the dish?
I do not want to create separate category of garnishes as they first of all have zero price, secondly, it is extra time for the waiter to add it to the order

as well as the variant with Extra modifiers - typing is not an option.


Second part of this question is
portions of alcohol
Like I have 30ml rum and 60 ml rum. 4 types of rum. which makes it 8 buttons if we go for separate button for each portion. Making double of 30ml portions also not an option because the price is different not just twice.

Is there any variant to make one button but with some choice of portions?

Or concerning the dishes - with a choice of garnish/sauce?


Thank you.

Use Modifier Groups. Go to Manage>Product>Modifier Groups>Add New Modifier

Set Modifier Group Name = Serve with ? or whatever you like.

in Adding New Modifier window, add Modifier such as 1. with potatoes 2. with rice. Click Save
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now assign this Modifier Groups to the product. In this case, Goulash

go to Product list>Goulash   ... Now click add Property Group > choose your Modifier Group you have just set up. Click Save
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, for auto select of a product, check this link
