Modifiers are used in REVO to add a modification or variant to a product. They can also be used to provide instructions on how to prepare that specific product.

For example, if when adding an espresso (product) we want REVO to ask us about the size (modifier). Unlike optional modifiers, these appear every time we click on the product, displaying a window with the variants.



1. CREATE A MODIFIER

Firstly, we need to create the modifier. To do this:

1. Access the back-office.

2. Go to Catalog / MODIFIERS.

3. Click on +New and fill in the following information:



  • Active:
  • Hidden: By activating this option, from the app, clicking on the product will not display the window with the variants, even if the modifier is mandatory. This option makes sense when combined with the Auto-selected option.
  • Name: Specify the modifier's name.

Note: These two options will take effect from version 4.3.

  • Min: This numeric value indicates whether it is optional (0) or mandatory (1).
  • Max: This numeric value indicates whether one or multiple options can be chosen.

Examples:

Min: 1 and Max: 1: This is a "Mandatory" option, and only one can be selected.
Min: 1 and Max: 2: This is a "Mandatory" option, and up to 2 options can be selected.
Min: 0 and Max: 1: This is an "Optional" option, there is no obligation to select an option, but 1 option can be selected.

Note: From version 4.3 onwards, these two options will be deprecated.

  • Multiple options or select one: Determines whether multiple options can be selected or only one within the modifier.
  • Optional or mandatory: Determines whether we must obligatorily select one or more options, or if we can add the product without selecting any of the modifier options.

2. CREATE MODIFIER OPTIONS

Once the modifier is created, click on the -- to access the modifier options. Click on +New:



  • Active:

  • Auto-selected: By activating this option, from the app, when clicking on the product, the modifier option will be selected by default.

  • Name: Specify the option's name.

  • Price: Specify if it has a supplement.

  • Preparation time: Add the preparation time for this product for better control in the KDS.

  • Negation type: Add the possibility to create the negation in the same modifier without having to create two modifiers.

    • None: Default option. With this option activated, the type of negation is not asked.
    • No: The + and - buttons appear in the modifier, and by clicking on the "minus" button, the preposition No will be added in front of the modifier.
    • Without: The + and - buttons appear in the modifier, and by clicking on the "minus" button, the preposition Without will be added in front of the modifier.
    • Negation only: Only the - button will appear.
    • Half Pizza: This option will allow us to select the right or left part of the pizza.

Continuing with the example of the espresso, the most suitable modifier would be:



Note: In this case, we have created a modifier with all the variants (short, long, with ice, etc.) where there is a price supplement. And we have made it mandatory to choose at least one option since it is possible to order a long espresso with ice or just a short espresso.


3. ASSIGN A MODIFIER

Next, you need to assign the modifier to a category or directly to the product. The difference is that if it is assigned to the category, all products in that category will have the modifier assigned.

To do this, go to groups and search for the category or product, then assign the modifier in the Configuration > Modifier Category tab. Following the previous example, let's assign the modifier to the espresso.



As you can see, depending on the use that will be made of the modifier, you can select one type of configuration or another.


4. PRACTICAL EXAMPLES

Half Pizza

With this option, we can choose whether we want certain ingredients on only one half of our pizza. To do this:

  • Create the modifiers, and under Negation Type, select Half Pizza.



  • When adding the pizza, the modifier screen will appear with the previously created ingredients. You will see or ; by clicking on them, you indicate which half of the pizza you want to add the ingredients to.



  • An icon will appear below the pizza indicating which half have the ingredient on. In the example image, there will be mushrooms only on the left half and bacon on the right.



"Hidden" and "Autoselected" Options

As an example, let's start with a base of a soft drink where you're asked if you want ice and lemon. Mark ice and lemon as autoselected to avoid manually selecting them each time.

1. Modifier activated with Hidden option deactivated and Autoselected option activated. When you select the soft drink, the marked options will appear. In this case, it can be modified, and you can indicate that you don't want lemon.

  • Activate autoselected.



  • When adding the soft drink, the modifier screen will open with ice and lemon selected.



  • You can change the modifiers; in the example, click the to indicate "No Lemon."





2. Modifier activated with Hidden option activated and Autoselected option activated. This option will autoselect the modifiers without showing the screen. In this case, it cannot be modified, these options will always appear.

  • Activate hidden.



  • Activate autoselected.



  • When adding the soft drink, it will be added directly to the order with ice and lemon.
