Creating products for options

If you want to set up product options that will adjust the price of the main product, or adjust stock, you should first ensure the option exists as a product on your system. 

If the product doesn't already exist, you can create it in the Food Options or Drinks Options categories, in your back office. Products created in these categories will not appear as buttons on your EPOS, but will be available as an option attached to another product.

Note: If the options that a customer can select already exist elsewhere on your menu with the correct portion size e.g. sides, there is no need to create them in the options categories, you can link directly to the existing product.

Set up the products for your options in the same way as setting up your standard products. If you are tracking stock, ensure that the stock set up is correct for the portion that the option will use. 

This can be done by setting the order unit size to the number of portions that one order unit will server, or by using a recipe to link the product to the correct quantity of the appropriate ingredient.

Note: Products with measures cannot be used as product options so if you want to add a product with measures you will need to set up the measure you want to use in Drinks Options and add a recipe that links back to the correct quantity of your main product.

Once you have products set up to represent any options that need to adjust price or stock, you can create your option sets.
