Overview

Modifiers in Revel are used primarily by our Quick Service and our Table Service clients, although it is possible to enable modifiers for our Retail and Grocery clients as well. Modifiers are meant to modify how a particular Product is sold, either by:

• Attaching additional Products to the original Product (e.g. adding a side to an entrée),
• Adding other items to a Product (e.g. add avocado to a sandwich),
• Providing variations of the Product (e.g. white vs. wheat bread, 8oz. vs. 12 oz.),
• Including instructions on how the Product is to be prepared (e.g. raw, medium, well-done steak).

For this reason, Modifiers give clients perhaps the greatest flexibility in building out their Menu.

Creating Modifiers

The first step in setting up modifiers would be to create the modifiers themselves on the backend. To do so, log into your management console, and click on the Products tab. On the left hand side, select Modifiers.

To create a new Modifier Class, simply click "+ Add Modifier Class", then type in the desired name. Once finished adding the class, select "Save" at the top right.

Once it has been made, select "Add Modifier" and type in the name. Continue doing this until all the necessary modifiers are created. In the example below, we have already entered a number of modifiers for Salad Dressing.

Following the same steps for creating a Modifier Class, individual Modifiers are created under the class by entering the name, the price (this is the upsell price that correlates to this particular modifier), and then clicking Save.

Associating Modifiers with Products

Now that you have created Modifier Classes and their Modifiers, the following step will be to associate Modifiers with individual Products. To do so, locate the product that you would like to associate modifiers with by clicking on the Products tab on the left-hand side, and selecting its corresponding Category and Sub-Category.

Modifier Icons

Note that if there are no modifiers currently associated with the product, then the M icon will appear light blue. If there are modifiers associated with the product, the M icon will appear dark blue. Click on the M icon to begin associating modifiers with the product.
