Enable Duplicate Required Modifiers

  • Last Updated: December 18, 2022

Duplicate modifiers make it easy for restaurants to accommodate a double portion of burger toppings or extra pickles on the side! The duplicate modifier option is enabled in Register Preferences. Once enabled, individual modifier options are adjusted on an item-level to accommodate duplicate MOD selections within a modifier group.

Enable Duplicate Modifiers
  1. From Home, navigate to Settings > Register Preferences.
  2. Tap the Orders tab.
  3. Enable the Allow Duplicate Modifier slider.
  4. Tap Save.


Adjust Modifier Groups to Allow Duplicate Modifiers

After enabling in Settings, Duplicate Modifiers are activated for specific modifier groups. Modifier groups can be adjusted within an Item’s Details on the MODS tab.

  1. From Home, navigate to Items > Item Details.
  2. If the Item is not already featured, tap All Items to view a list of items.
  3. Select an Item. Use the scroll or search features to narrow your search.
  4. Tap the Modifiers tab.
  5. View This Item’s Modifiers to familiarize yourself with modifier group assignments. Scroll down to view group listings in the right-hand column.
  6. Tap Manage Group.
  7. Adjust group settings by entering a value in the “Minimum” and “Maximum” columns.
    • Note: In order for Duplicate Modifiers to work, the “Maximum” number of allowed choices must be 2 or greater. For example, if Group A has “Minimum” choice of 1 and “Maximum” choice of 1, selection is limited to 1 which prevents staff from adding a duplicate. If Group B has a “Minimum” choice of 1 and “Maximum” choice of 2, then a second or duplicate choice is permitted.
    • Tip! Easily assign a custom label to each modifier group. Tap a Description and type a label name. For example, Group E can be labeled Flavor. See: Label a Modifier Group
  8. Tap Save.


Duplicate Modifiers at the Register

This is an example of how a duplicate modifier can be chosen at the register:

  1. A customer orders a “Boom Boom Burger.”
  2. Review the modifier group options that display.
    • Group A (Size) allows only one selection. When settings are “Min: 1”, “Max: 1”, no description is noted on the group description.
    • Group B (Heat) allows only one selection. When settings are “Min: 1”, “Max: 1”, no description is noted on the group description.
    • Group C (Sides) requires 1 selection and allows a maximum of 2 selections, as indicated by “Min: 1”, “Max: 2.” Because duplicate modifiers are enabled and there is room for 2 selections. For example, select an order of steak fries by tapping Steak Fries, and then tapping Chips.
  3. Enter the customer’s choices.
    • From Group A (Size), the customer selects Make It 1/2 lb.
    • From Group B (Heat), the customer selects Med Well.
    • Group C (Sides), the customer orders two sides: Chips and Steak Fries as sides.
  4. Review the customer’s choices.
  5. Tap Save Mods.
  6. Review selections.
