In POS Proficiency & Reminders, what are modifiers typically used for?

• A. They adjust seating arrangements
• B. They modify the base item with additional ingredients
• C. They set tip guidelines
• D. They determine payment method

Answer: (B)

Modifers in POS systems are used to customize a menu item by adding or removing components, or changing how it’s prepared. This lets the kitchen see exactly what the customer wants and how to prepare it, from extra toppings to seating preferences not being part of the item itself. The modifiers tie to the base item and, if applicable, adjust price or preparation notes, ensuring accuracy in the ticket, kitchen workflow, and order history. They aren’t used for seating arrangements, tipping guidelines, or payment methods, which are handled separately in the system.
