Overview
What is a Modifier?
Modifiers are ingredients that the brand allows to get modfied in each item. They have no PLU related to them in a lot of cases but there might be POS exceptions.
These are what you might know as ingredients that are modifiable in each of our items like Tomato (Sandwich), Lettuce (Sandwich) , Sugar (Coffee), Milk (Coffee).

The alt attribute is 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 |
Vendor Configs
| Info |
|---|
If you your POS uses PLU for modifiers |
You will need to configure each modifier here.
In your brand and country Sanity environment, you will see the Service Mode Groups (Pickup and Delivery) and POS used, as well as the Tablet system in place, in case some restaurants use a POS without order injection integration.
| Note |
|---|
In the example above, please note that rPOS will include the PLU of items for all Pickup service modes (Takeaway, Dine-in, Drive-thru, Curbside), whereas rPOS Delivery refers to the PLU of items for delivery only. |
For each Service Mode Group (Pickup and Delivery), you will need to configure the correct PLU.
| Info |
|---|
If your POS does not use a PLU for modifiers |
You will still need to make some simple configurations.
Please expand the designated Vendor Config and select PLU Type = Ignore.
With this, we are telling the system, which is configured to check the PLU of the modifier, to skip that step and keep injecting the guest’s order.
| Note |
|---|
NCR and Sicom are two famous POS examples that do not include PLUs for modifiers. |
