Creating a Modifier Grid to Just Allow for Portion Size Adjustments
Adjusting Portion Sizes for an Ordered Item in the Touch App
In the Touch app, the portion size for an ordered item can be adjusted.
The ability to adjust the portion size is via a Touch app modifier grid. If a Touch app modifier grid has been applied to Touch app ordering (see Creating a Touch App Modifier Grid for AO and IO Orders), then that modifier grid also provides the ability to adjust the portion size for an item, as per screenshots below.
Creating a Modifier Grid to Just Allow for Portion Size Adjustments
If a Touch app modifier grid does not exist to apply modifiers, and you want Touch app users the ability to adjust portion sizes, then you will have to create a modifier grid in Touch Admin for just such a purpose. To do so, complete the following steps:
- In Touch Admin, select Ordering Settings > Modifiers. The Grids screen appears.
- Click the Add a Grid button. The Add Modifier Grid pop-up appears.
- In the Name field, enter a name for the grid. For example, “Portion Size”
- Click the Add Modifier Grid button.
- Click the grid name link. The Grid screen appears.
- A separate modifier grid needs to be built for each meal period: breakfast, lunch, dinner. Click the meal period tab (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) for the meal period to build the first grid for.
- You now need to add one “tile” to the grid to make it valid. Click the Add button of the first tile. The Add New Tile pop-up appears.
- Select the Modifier tab.
- In the Modifier Name field, enter a name for the tile. For example, “Portion Size Adjust”.
- Click the Add New button.
- You are returned to the main page, where the newly-added tile appears.
- Repeat steps 6 - 11 to add a tile to each remaining meal period.
- The next steps are to enable the newly-created “portion size” modifier grid for tableside select orders and advanced ordering. Refer to the appropriate sections below.
