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 “Impossible Whopper” which would be the higher level concept, then it would compile under it all the different options for an Impossible Whopper which can be:
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 “Impossible Whopper” picker instead of seeing the impossible whopper medium meal, the large meal and the menu item (sandwich only). When they click on the picker, they will choose between just the sandwich or the different meal sizes, as well as other aspects that can be configured.

Note: picker and picker aspects always refer to another Sanity document. They do not have their own PLUs because, they simply map the guest selection to a specific menu item (e.g. if a guest selects 6 nuggets and medium meal in the picker, the picker aspect will map to the ‘6pc nugget medium meal’ combo item). |
Examples
Below, you can see the Impossible Whopper picker, which contains the Combo Size picker aspect.

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.

You should see here all the picker aspects you added previously - from the options, you must choose one |

The default selection’s price will be shown in the Menu page (for a specific selected restaurant) and it needs to be the first one sorted in the list. Therefore, picker option with * always needs to be the first one 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 🤷♂️ |
