When rung up, the server will be prompted to make a dip selection, and if the server wants to choose Honey Mustard and BBQ they may. This is possible because the Multi Select box for the link was checked. Next the server will be prompted to modify the sliders (86 Pickle, 86 Tomato) They’re able to select the four buttons because the Multiple Select box for the link was checked

Now let’s say in this restaurant 80% of the guest order their sliders as is with Ranch. Well to save time for the servers Lets Auto Select the Ranch Dressing and skip the second screen for Food Mod. They will always have the option to make a dip selection and modify items on the food mods screen. But time will be saved by not having to navigate those screens up front.
