When a customer orders multiple quantities of a particular meal, they may not want all of the items prepared the same way. For example, a customer may order three tacos, but only wants an added ingredient on one. The "with" function is designed to offer flexibility and customization when multiple quantities are ordered of a specific item. It allows you to specify different preferences for each item when rang in together. Using the "with" function, which is set up during the programming of the menu item, any item entered with a quantity greater than one will enable the "with" functionality. A quantity bar appears at the bottom of the screen so that you can enter the quantity that needs to be modified. *if only one item is entered, the with function is disabled and does not appear.
Setting up "With"
- Go to Manager Menu > Menu Maintenance > Modifier Setup
- Select the dropdown to choose a previously saved modifier group, or create a new one now
- Type in With as a Modifier Name and add it anywhere within the modifier list.
- Assign the modifier group to a menu item.
Using "With"
- After selecting Quantity, select a menu item that is attached to the modifier group with your "with" button. **"With" is only activated when you are ringing in items with a quantity greater than 1 at a time**
- Select With to enable the quantity bar at the bottom.
- Specify Preferences with 'With': Using the quantity bar at the bottom of the screen, you can specify the number of items that require modification.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- To toggle the "with" function on and off, simply change the quantity of the item. The function is only available when ordering more than one quantity of an item.
- If a mistake is made, you can touch the red button on the quantity bar to clear, or you can use the Start Over button at the bottom of the modifier screen.
