Links for Modifiers & Sides
How to use them and explanations
The links tab defines the steps staff must go through to order an item completely. The steps that apply to this item must be defined here for all the screens it appears on.
This example shows a steak and shrimp entrée. The first link shows that once the entrée is selected, the next step is to tell the kitchen the desired temperature. The step after asks if the customer has any special requests for the steak.
Links and prices are defined in their respective tabs, then applied to each screen via the advanced button on the screens tab.
Chain Links – The screens where sides or modifiers being attached to the main item reside. *Order is essential.
Modif – Denotes the link as a modifier.
Side – Denotes the link as a side.
Force – Does not let staff progress to another page until a selection for that link is made.
Keep – Keeps the link available after the item has been sent. Useful for items like all-you-can-eat that require a refill after the order is sent.
Mult – Allows for multiple selections from the same screen group.
Sngl – Causes this link to be rung in one at a time, even if the item has a quantity greater than one. Think ordering ten $.50 wings; typically, one wouldn’t need ten dipping sauces.
A86 – Displays “86” next to an auto-selected modifier on a chit when it is changed.
N/C – No charge for the link
B/C – Charges the difference between the auto-selected modifier and the one it is changed to.
Ignr – Ignores links attached to the modifier merchandise item.
PAuto – Prints the auto-selected modifier or side
Auto Select – Selects the most common choice from the linked screen group. In this example, cinnamon apples comes with the steak, so it is auto-selected but can be changed.
Min, Max, Step – The minimum and maximum number of choices that must be made for the link and how many constitute a choice. Let’s say 20 wings come with up to 4 sauces. The min would be 1 (all 20 get the same sauce), we established the max is 4, and the step would be 5. Meaning if someone chooses all four sauces, customers will get one sauce per five wings.
C – Copies the link and inserts it below
D – The days of the week the link is applicable
