Menu item and modifier alcohol labeling

The details page for each menu item or modifier has a Does this item contain alcohol setting, under the Properties section. This setting identifies whether the menu item or modifier contains alcohol in cases where orders containing alcohol benefit from additional handling. For example, local laws might require an ID check or prevent accrual of loyalty points.

  • For new menu items, select the name of the menu group you want to add the menu item to. Navigate to the Items section, select the Add drop-down list, and choose Create New Item.
