What Are Item Modifiers?

Modifiers are used to alter items ordered by adding, removing, or substituting aspects of the item. They can be used for miscellaneous notes as well. Item Modifiers are the individual modifiers created in your Arryved Portal and they can be manually added to any item being ordered. Item Modifiers also act as the base modifiers or selection choices to Forced Modifiers. 

What Are Forced Modifiers?

Forced Modifiers allow you to “force” a choice of modification or addition to the item when ordered. Forced Modifiers are applied to Inventory Items in Arryved Portal. When that Inventory Item is ordered, a window will prompt the user to select a choice from the Forced Modifier that’s applied. This article will show you how to apply Item Modifiers to an order and make selections for Forced Modifiers. 

Prerequisites

• Item Modifiers and Forced Modifiers must be created in your Arryved Portal prior to using them on an order in Arryved Service. 
  

Limitations

• The ORDER Labor Role Permission is required for an employee to place an order and use modifiers in Arryved Service. 
  

• ​Modifiers with an upcharge will take the tax rate of the item the modifier is added to.
  

How It Works

Applying an Item Modifier

Begin an order

1. Log into Arryved Service.

2. From the STAFF screen, tap New to start a new order or tap on an existing tab to place another order. 

• If you tapped on an existing tab, tap Order next. 

3. From the order screen add any menu item to the order.

4. Tap on an item in the order screen to open the Item Modifiers screen. 

Select The Modifier Type

5. From the Item Modifiers screen, you can tap on Add, No, or Sub. Add will be the default if you do not select another button. 

• The Item Modifier selected will either be indicated as an addition, removal, or substitution based on the button selected. 

Predictive Text

6. Once a button is selected, use the entry field to begin to type the Item Modifier. 

7. When you see the Item Modifier you need, tap it to select it. 

• You can add multiple Item Modifiers to an item using different button types. 

• If you need to add a modifier that does not exist in your Arryved Portal, you can hand type it in as a note. 

8. Tap Done when finished modifying the item. 

9. Review the order and tap Send. 

Forced Modifiers 

If you add a menu item to the order screen that has any Forced Modifier applied to it,  the Required Modifiers window will prompt a selection. 

• Depending on how the Forced Modifier was created, there can sometimes be zero-many selections. 

• There can be more than one Forced Modifier that appears for one menu item.
  

Modifier Colors 

When modifiers appear under an item in the order screen, they will be highlighted in one of 4 colors:

Red: Forced Modifier with no upcharge (TOM).

Light Purple: Item Modifier with no upcharge (BACN).

Green: Forced Modifier or Item Modifier with an upcharge (AVOC). Upcharges will display the upcharge price.

Light Gray: This is a hand-typed note, not any existing Item or Forced Modifier (Rush).
