In Orderpin POS System, order modifiers can be understood as both production instructions and sub-items.
One type of order modifier on Orderpin POS System includes production instructions and sub-items. They inform the staff and kitchen of specific preparation information for an item. They can be configured as automatically tied to an item, so whenever a POS user adds that item to an order, they are prompted to include the relevant preparation info. This is what we mentioned in Modifier and Add on. Please refer to the corresponding section.
Another type of order adjuster can be considered as a note for items when staff places an order for customers. This may be a high-frequency note option for restaurants, but it is not fixed for a certain dish or a certain category. Perhaps only a certain type of customer will use it. Therefore, this function is only open to staff ordering (tablet ordering, staff ordering), not to customers ordering by themselves (QR ordering, kiosk ordering, online ordering).

Enabling order modifiers
Order modifiers in Orderpin POS System are used to inform the kitchen on specific cooking information such as no onions, less spicy, and no cheese for cooking options. The additional information for the kitchen is not associated with an extra cost, is not linked with any specific menu items, and won't generate statistics, which is more like that we standardize personalized note descriptions as shortcut options.
To enable the order modifiers, the steps are as follows:
- Log in the Back Office with your Orderpin POS System credentials.
- On the sidebar of the Back Office, select Settings > Store Management > Business Settings > General Settings > Enable the "Order modifier".
When it takes effect, the order page will look like the followings, you can choose the extra modifier even if you did not link the product to specified modifiers or "Add on" before.
Managing order modifiers
Labeling the customer notes that the restaurant encounters frequently and presenting them with the additional options of the menu items can reduce the time it takes for waiters to take orders and improve overall ordering efficiency.
To Creating a new order modifier or Editing, deleting, and sorting order modifiers, please refer to the corresponding module.
You can edit, sort, or delete an extra needing after it has been created in the Back Office. This is helpful if any changes are due to customer demand, or it is used as a template to create a similar menu, or it has to be deleted because it is only offered seasonally.
