Send Modifiers to Specific Printers

  • Last Updated: January 23, 2024

In Exatouch, you can assign different printers to modifiers by category and subcategory. The category and subcategory, for example, of salad modifiers can print to a salad station printer, while the steak entrée prints to the appropriate kitchen printer.

If you do not assign a specific printer to a modifier category or subcategory, the modifier prints to the printer assigned to the parent item.
