Create item categories and modifiers to keep your order tickets, customer receipts, and sales reports detailed and organised.
When adding menu items in your Next Order Admin panel, you have the ability to customize and group them in a few different ways.
Item Variations - This allows adding variants to the same menu item with the same sizes ( For example: With cheese or Gluten-Free ). No more than two variants are allowed to be added to one Menu item. Additional prices can also be added for a variant.
Item Modifiers - Edit, modify or specify a change to a pre-existing item in the kitchen. Modifiers can also add to the cost of the item if necessary. For example, extra mushrooms for $1.50, Extra cheese for $2.50, and No Olives.
Categories - Helps Categorise Menu items. The Categories you create appear on Online/POS as set up on the Admin panel.
Display Order - Helps organise how items appear on your website and delivery platforms.
