How to create a modifier (variable)

Modifiers can be considered as additional instructions, requests or services that you can create to suit your product. All modifiers created can be attached to different individual or group of products to cater to your needs.

For F&B industry; modifiers are used to represent additional food toppings or for the selection of the doneness of a steak.

For Service industry; modifiers can be used as an add-on service on top of an existing service.
