Modifiers

Modifiers are add-ons or changes that customers can make to products.

What Are Modifiers?

Modifiers let customers customize their orders:

  • Extra cheese on a pizza
  • No onions on a burger
  • Add whipped cream to a drink
  • Spicy level (mild, medium, hot)

How Modifiers Work

Like products, modifiers have recipes. This means when a customer adds "Extra Cheese," Butter knows:

  • How much cheese to deduct from inventory
  • What the customer should be charged (if applicable)
