Assign Sort Order to Menu Items for Prioritized Printing
Last updated: Dec 17, 2025, 5:06 PM
Question
How do I assign an order number to sort my menu items for kitchen printing?
Answer
| Modifier Sort Order is in limited release with select customers at this time allowing modifiers to be displayed on kitchen tickets in an order that matches the kitchen workflow, rather than how the order is taken. This update applies to both printed kitchen tickets and tickets on the KDS. If you do not see this feature yet, check back soon for updates! |
To assign a sort order to menu items for prioritized printing, follow the steps below:
- In Toast Web, navigate to Menus > Bulk management > Advanced properties.
- Open the Show/Hide drop-down menu and select Sort Order under Preparation. This will add the Sort Order column to your advanced properties list.
- Use the caret (arrow) to expand your menu that has the items you wish to assign a sort order to.
- Enter the sort number in the text field of the Sort Order column. "1" is the highest priority, and every number follows after that.
- Save and publish your changes.
Note: You can also edit a menu item's sort order individually on the item details page, in the Preparations section.
