Filters

Apply filters for quick insights! Use the dropdowns to add as many filters as you need, and your report will only generate data that meets that criteria, so you only see what you need. Using the ‘Hide’ checkboxes will remove the filter criteria from the report and leave everything else. 


Venue: Want to see how Menu Items are modified in a specific Venue? Maybe you want to compare orders at your Bar to your Patio Seating. Specify a Venue here, or Hide the ones you don’t want to see. 

Item Type: See how Menu Items of a certain Item Type are being modified. Maybe you need an analysis of your pizza toppings or specialty burgers. 

Category: Filter by a larger Category such as “Food” or “Liquor.” 

Item Size: Modifiers ordered with select Unit Size(s).

Ordering Platform: Get an analysis of Menu Item modifications from one or more of your ordering platforms, such as Arryved Service, OpenTab, or Arryved Online. Maybe consumer preferences are different depending on how they order. 

Modifier Group: Get a deeper understanding or certain Modifier Groups, such as your salad proteins. Are guests ordering the salmon add-on? Do we need to prep more chicken for lunch on weekdays?

Modifier Action: Choose a specific Modifier Action (Add, No, Sub) to analyze. How often are key ingredients being substituted? How often are key ingredients being removed? 

The Report

The data in each column sums together all the days in the selected date range. Data only includes orders that were closed, not orders that are still active. 


Learn more about how each report column is calculated and what it means:

Item: The Menu Item that was modified. 

Item Size: The specific Unit Size that was ordered and modified. 

Modifier: The name of the Item Modifier.

Action: Specifies if the Modifier was Added to (Add), Removed from (No), or Substituted (Sub) for something else when ordered with the Menu Item at the specified size. 

  • Only Modifiers with the ‘Add’ action will have an upcharge analysis. Modifiers that were removed from Menu Items or substituted don’t affect prices, and so these will show “n/a” in the Total Upcharge and Average Upcharge columns. 

Occurrences: The number of times the Modifier was applied to the Menu Item at the specified size. 

Total Item Orders: The total number of times the Menu Item at the specified size was ordered, regardless of whether it was modified or not. This is helpful if you want to compare modification frequency to total order frequency. How many times was the Menu Item modified out of the total number of times it was sold?

Total Upcharges: The total revenue in upcharges collected from this Modifier when applied to the Item at the specified size.

Average Upcharge: The Total Upcharges divided by the number of times it was applied to the Menu Item (Occurrences). This tells you the average price of the Modifier for this Item at the specified size. This is often equal to the price set to the Item Modifier itself, unless a Price Floor is involved.
