Alterations, also known a modifiers are additional options a guest can select when placing an order for a product. Alterations can be used to indicate preferences such as portion size, cooking temperature, customisation of dishes or upselling. For Example: if a guest is ordering a burger with cheese and bacon, options can be made available to offer the choice to remove bacon, remove cheese or to even add extra items such as onion or tomato. Alterations Can be added at product level so that they only apply to that product or at category level, in which case they would be available for all products within that category.
