| The following features are available on POS, Online Ordering, and Toast Mobile Order & Pay™ only. Additionally, Toast does not recommend using pre-modifiers since they are only compatible with the POS at the moment. |
Regardless if you are a pizzeria, a deli, or a fast-casual restaurant with BYO bowls, the features outlined below will help you streamline your menu and allow easy guest ordering.
For more basic modifier pricing options (no additional cost, cost set at modifier group, or cost set for individual modifier), check out this Toast Central article: Configure Modifier Pricing Strategy.
Watch this video or follow the step-by-step instructions in this article to implement special modifier pricing strategies for your restaurant including size pricing, sequence pricing, and size + sequence pricing.
Size pricing can be used by restaurants when the cost of a modifier option changes based on the size of the menu item it is applied to. Size pricing can be used at both the modifier group level or the individual modifier option level.
| Modifier size pricing must be used with item size pricing. Toast recommends setting up item size pricing prior to following the steps below. Check out this Toast Central article, , to learn more. |
It is very important that the sizes for the modifiers match the size and naming convention for the items exactly (including spelling, capitalization, etc.). For example, if your menu item size is named "Small", then make sure that the modifier size is also "Small" (not "Sm" or "SMALL" or "small").
If your items are erroneously being grouped together and not being separated by size or modifier on your POS, select the three dot icon in the top right corner of your POS device and Resync all data.
For instructions on how to set up size pricing on the modifier group or individual modifier level, check out this Toast Central article: .
Sequence pricing can be used when the price of modifiers in a modifier group is determined by the sequence in which they are added to a menu item. The price of the menu item is updated to reflect the guest's choices. For example, the first topping of a pizza is free, the second topping costs $0.50, the third topping costs $0.75, and all additional toppings cost $1.00
| In determining the sequence and the corresponding price for the modifiers, the system will use the sequence of the modifier in relation to the other modifiers within the group. For example, let's say there are two modifier groups - one for protein toppings and one for veggie toppings. The sequence pricing can be different for each modifier group and thus, if a guest wants to add two protein toppings they would trigger the price associated for the first and second topping within the protein toppings modifier group. By adding a veggie topping, the price for that topping would correspond to the first topping in the veggie modifier group. |

Size/sequence pricing can be used when the cost of a modifier depends on the size of the menu item it is applied to and the order in which it is applied to the item. For example, the first topping on a small pizza is $0.25 and additional toppings are $0.50, while the first topping on a large pizza is $0.50 and additional toppings are $0.75.
