Creating and Managing Food and Beverage Item Modifiers

SnowCloud allows you to create and manage modifiers for your food and beverage items, enabling you to offer customizable options to your customers. Modifiers can include options such as add-ons, size variations, or special instructions.

Understanding Modifiers

Modifiers are additional options that can be applied to food and beverage items. They allow customers to customize their orders according to their preferences. For example, a pizza item may have modifiers for different toppings, or a coffee item may have modifiers for milk type and sweetness level.

Creating a Simple Modifier

In this guide, we’ll walk through the steps to create a simple modifier. For this example, let’s create a modifier for “No pickles” that can be applied to burger items.

  1. Start by logging into your SnowCloud account.

  2. From the left side navigation menu, click on Setup, then under the F&B Products section, click on Modifiers to access the Modifiers interface.

  5. Optionally, additional fields may be available to further customize your modifier. However, for this example, we’re going to keep it simple and only set the name.

  6. Finally, click on the Save New Modifier button at the bottom right of the screen to create your new modifier.

Creating a Modifier List

A modifier list is a collection of related modifiers that can be applied to food and beverage items. For example, a modifier list for a burger item may include modifiers for different toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

Let’s walk through the steps to create a modifier list, using the example of burger toppings:

  1. Start by logging into your SnowCloud account.

  2. Next, access the Modifier Lists interface by clicking on Setup on the left side navigation menu, then under the F&B Products section, clicking on Modifier Sets.

  3. Let’s create a new modifier list for the modifier that we created in the previous section. To do so, click on the plus icon at the top right of the screen.

  5. Below the name field, you’ll see a Selection Type field. Use this field to configure how the modifiers in this list will behave.

    In this example, we’re going to allow customers to select topping modifiers freely, so we’ll set this to Any Selection.

    Optionally, you can set minimum and maximum selection limits for the modifiers in this list. For this example, we’ll leave these fields blank to allow any number of selections.

  6. Before we set any modifiers to the list, let’s save our changes by clicking on the Save Changes button. This will allow us to proceed to adding modifiers to the list.

  7. Let’s get started with adding our modifiers to the list. Within the Set Modifiers section, click on the plus icon at the top right. This will open a list of available modifiers.

  8. From the list, locate the modifier that you want to add. In this example, we want to add the No pickles modifier that we created earlier.

    Locate the modifier from the list and click on the Add button to the right of it to include it in the modifier list.
