What is a Picker?
A picker is a higher level product concept that combines combos and/or items. On the example below, we have created a picker called “Whopper” “Impossible Whopper” which would be the higher level concept, then it would compile under it all the different options for a an Impossible Whopper which can be: the whopper medium meal (“MEDIUM”), the whopper large meal (“LARGE”) and the whopper single item (“À LA CARTE” = ALC
the Impossible Whopper sandwich (“Just the Sandwich”)
the Impossible Whopper small meal (“Small”)
the Impossible Whopper medium meal (“Medium”)
the Impossible Whopper large meal (“Large”) .
Advantage of Pickers
This way, when guests navigates to the “Flame-grilled burgers” section, they see the “Whopper” “Impossible Whopper” picker instead of seeing the impossible whopper medium meal, the whopper large meal and the whopper menu item (sandwich only). When they click on the picker, they will choose between a large combo, a medium combo and the ALC product, and just the sandwich or the different meal sizes, as well as other aspects that can be configured.

Another example is the Chicken Nuggets picker below, which contains the Nuggets Pieces and the Nuggets Meal Size picker aspects.

the HTML attribute used in HTML and XHTML documents to specify alternative text (alt text) that is to be rendered when the element to which it is applied cannot be rendered. It is also important for SEO purposes, as this description is what allows search engines (like Google) to connect this image to a search. By adding the Plant-based Whopper description, there is a chance users will find this image in Google Images, which can lead to traffic in the platform |

Picker Aspects
What is a Picker Aspect?
Picker Aspects are the different criteria a Guest can choose from to result in the combo or item which they would like to order.
| Note |
|---|
Need for Picker AspectsPicker Aspects are needed if you have defined a Picker previously. They can only be linked to Picker Documents |
In the current example, the Picker Aspects of the Impossible Whopper Picker are:
Just the Sandwich
Small
Medium
Large
...
Picker Defaults
When you arrive to the picker page, one one option will be pre-selected. In the example above, “Just the Sandwich” is already selected without user having to make any click.
This will be what picker aspect options are initially set as default when guest accesses the picker. In order to set them as default, you need to click on ‘Add item…’ under Picker Defaults, choose the same picker aspects you have added on ‘Picker Aspects’ and choose the option you want to set as default for each picker aspect.

The default selection’s price will be shown in the Menu page While defaulting the biggest combo size might help sell higher tickets, defaulting the smallest and cheapest picker option will make your Menu look more attractive in the Menu page 🤷♂️ |

Everything we would like to include in the section.If we have picker aspects we would have to map each item to each picker aspect response. Example: Picker Aspect Combo Size ( options: A la Carte, Small,Medium and Large). Picker options: Picker aspect A la Carte-> Bacon Cheeseburger item, Picker aspect Small-> Bacon Cheeseburger Meal Small, Picker aspect Medium-> Bacon Cheeseburger Meal Medium, Picker aspect Large-> Bacon Cheeseburger Meal Large. This will help us know when a user selects one or the other picker aspect to know what item to link it to.

Set-Up
...
...
.
Options
Until now, we have just created names for our Picker Aspects:
Just the Sandwich
Small
Medium
Large
However, how does the system know that the user is selecting the Impossible Whopper Sandwich and not any other sandwich? More importantly, how does the POS recognize our selection?
...
We must map each picker aspect to an actual Combo or Item. Picker aspects themselves do not have PLUs. Instead, Items and Combos tend to have. So for the order injections to work we must link Picker aspects to Items and / or Combos.
| Info |
|---|
If you are wondering, we did not invent these complex systems, that is just how POS (Point of Sales) work 🤓 |
| Tip |
|---|
to know more about PLUs check this FAQ Content FAQs |
...
This process needs to be followed for all the Picker Aspects and then you are all done! 🚀
Channel Exclusions
Need to show different items depending on the Service Mode Group (Pickup / Delivery) or the platform (Web, Mobile, Kiosk, Google Food Ordering)? This is the place where you can exclude items from being shown to the guests.
...
Other Selections
For easiness of explanation, all the other selections you can make throughout the Items file have been groupped in this part of the guide.
Show in Static Menu will allow displaying the picker in the Static Menu, before a Service Mode or store is selected. This is the equivalent to your National Menu, but it does not mean all of the pickers are available for purchase for Delivery or Pickup, for example.
