Key Points

  • Mods are modifications to your menu items - such as "Oat milk" on a coffee or "Medium rare" on a steak.

  • You can set them up under Setup > Mod Editor, or on-the-fly within an item.

  • There are two types of mod setup

    • Optional - select as many of these as you like at time of ordering - e.g. 1x Sugar + Extra Shot.

    • Required - A set of mods with a purpose and you can only select one at time of ordering. e.g. Size - Small, Medium or Large.

  • Mods can change the sales price of the item. You can make a negative priced mod to lower the price of the item by placing a minus sign in front to of the mod sales price. e.g. Mod: Small, Sales Price: -0.50

  • Small Plan: There is a limit of 50 mods


Detailed Steps

Create a Mod

  • To create a mod, either head to Setup > Mod Editor and press the New Mod button, or open up an item you're wanting to add a mod to, then head to the Mods section and press Add Mod.

  • The mod screen will slide out. Enter your...

    • Name

    • Sales Price of the mod. +/-, or 0 (no value) is fine

    • Category and Subcategory where appropriate

    • Toggle whether the mod is to appear on your online menu for the customers to select.

    • If you want to record costings on the mod, press the button at the bottom left.

    • Add your ingredients as per the Recipe Builder instructions, or press record manually to enter in the value directly.

  • At the very bottom of the mod page you will see what items this mod is attached to (useful information if you are updating a recipe or wanting to delete a mod).


Adding mods to Items

  • Open the item you want to add the mods to and head to the Mods Section.

  • Locate the mod you are after by using search or dropping down the category section.

Adding an Optional Mod

  • You can add as many mods as you like to the Optional Mods list, and select as many as you like while adding the item to an order.

  • Find your mods on the left and drag them into the Optional Mods section. Or, hit 'Add a Mod' under Optional Mods, search or pick a category, and click on a mod to add it - easy!

  • To remove mods, drag them back and drop them in the mods list.

  • Save your item and sync your menu on the iPads.

Adding a Required Mod Group

  • You can add multiple Required Mod Groups to an item.

  • Firstly, name your Required Mod Group by either pressing + Add Required Mod Group, then naming the group...

    or dragging your first mod into the required mods section and then naming the group.


  • Drag your mods from the left into your new group, or tap 'Add a Mod' at the bottom of the group.

  • Search or pick a category, then click a mod to add it.

  • Once you're done, one mod will be highlighted in blue—this is the default mod.

    • If you use the swipe motion to add an item to an order, the default mod will come with it automatically.

  • Want to change the default mod? Just click it once.

  • Boom! Your first required mod group is set.

    • In this case, medium flat white is the most popular, so we’ve set ‘medium’ as the default.

  • Need more mod groups?

    • Repeat the process below your first group.

    • Drag and drop mod groups up or down to get them in the right spot for your team. Use the anchor on the top right of the group (looks like =)

  • Don't forget to press Done on the item to save your changes, then Sync your menu on your Bustle tills!


Troubleshooting

  • If you are having any issues adding mods, refer to our Bustle Hub Website Issues article.

  • We do have a known issue with the search function when dragging and dropping mods where mods don't drop in correctly. Should this occur, refresh the page and try using the "or add a mod" button below the section you are trying to add to.
