How to create pre-mods
In addition to allowing your operators to specify modifiers for items, you also likely want to further identify preparation nuances by including “pre-mods.” Pre-mods denote exactly what you wish done with the modifiers you are attaching to your items by prepending text to the modifiers selected at the time of sale.
Example:
An order for a “Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, No Coke, Pepsi” might include a hamburger as an item, cheese as a modifier, as well as Pepsi and Coke. The “pre-mods” in this example would be “No” and “Add” (NO coke, ADD cheese or SUB pepsi).
Pre-mods are created via adding a line to the .INI file.
1. Go to SysManager > Preferences > Miscellaneous > Global Salespoint .INI.
2. Find the section designating the Table Service Food and Beverage salespoint group (ex: <FineDining>).
3. Go to the [Preferences] section.
4. Add a line in the Preferences section to specify the pre-mods you wish to use.
Example:
PreMods=No, Extra, Sub, Add, Lite
Note: The existence of a pre-mod in a line item does not affect the price of the item. So if EXTRA cheese costs extra money, the modifier cheese is selected multiple times, rather than simple relying on the pre-mod EXTRA to denote the price change.
Exercise:
• Add a pre-mod, “Major,” to the existing pre-mods for your Table Service Food and Beverage group in the global.INI file.
