A modifier group is a question asked when a dish is added: Spice level? with the options Mild, Medium, Extra Spicy. Each option can have a price add-on (extra cheese +50). The chosen options are printed on the kitchen ticket and added to the line's price.

What changes
Pick the menu items that open this group when they are added. Save: "Product assignments saved".
Turn Active off only for a group or an option you no longer serve: it then disappears from this screen as well.
On the order screen
Adding a dish that has a group opens Customize: dish name. Tick the options, add Special instructions (optional), and press Add to Order (the add-on total is shown on the button). If a group is required and too few options are ticked, the screen says: Please select at least N option for "group name". A dish with no group is added straight away; the same dish with different options is a separate line.
Common questions
An option is missing on a dish.
The group must be assigned to the dish (Assign Products), and the group and the option must be Active.
Can the guest pick two options?
Set Max Select to 2 or more; Min Select sets the least.
Does the add-on show on the bill?
It is part of the item's price on the line: the bill line shows the dish with its options.
