Working with modifiers

This section provides information about working with modifiers in the menu manager. It includes:

Editing a modifier's price

Follow the procedure below to edit a modifier's price.

To edit a modifier's price

  1. Access Toast Web.

  2. Choose Menus > Menu manager to open the Menu manager page.

  3. From the Show section, choose Modifiers.

  4. Use the search field or the filtering controls to refine the list of modifiers.

  5. Make your price edits:

    • To edit a modifier with a base price, enter the new price in the Price column.

    • To edit a modifier with a size, menu-specific, or location-specific price, expand its row and enter the new prices in the Price column.

      Note

      The menu manager only allows you to edit size prices that are already defined on a modifier's details page. If you need to add a price for another size, you must add the size's price on the details page first, before it is visible and available for editing on the Menu manager page. The same is true for menu-specific and location-specific prices. If you need to add a price for another menu or location, you must add the price on the details page first. For more information on adding size prices, see Configuring size pricing on modifier groups and modifiers. For more information on adding menu-specific prices, see Menu-specific price. For more information on adding location-specific prices, see Enabling and setting location-specific prices.

      Note

      If a modifier is versioned, all of its versions that use location-specific pricing use the same location-specific prices. In this situation, the versioned modifier appears on multiple rows on the Modifiers view, one row per version, and the location-specific prices associated with the versions are identical. If you edit the location-specific prices for one version, they are edited for all versions. For more information, see Location-specific prices and versions.

  6. Continue reading the Publishing menu manager changes section to understand how to make your menu changes available to restaurant employees and guests.

    Important

    The menu manager offers additional workflows for saving and publishing your pricing edits that are different from other configuration pages in Toast Web, including the ability to create a change set that saves and publishes your changes at a later date and time. In the menu manager, you either select Schedule to create a change set or Save to save your changes immediately but you don't do both. If you select Save, your changes will be saved immediately and you will not be able to create a change set. Do not select Save in the menu manager until you fully understand the publishing workflows described in Publishing menu manager changes.

Viewing read-only modifier information

The Modifiers view of the menu manager provides additional read-only information about modifiers. For example, the Found in column displays information about where a modifier appears in the menu hierarchy. For more information, see Items and modifiers view.
