Modifiers are actually created as DCIs in the system – DCIs become modifiers by virtue of being attached to other items (via the Modifiers tab on the Item setup dialog). It may be advantageous to group your modifier DCIs into categories (such as temperature, dressings, etc.) in order to make them easier to find and identify when associating them with items.

 

Note: Remember to take into consideration whether the modifier itself adds to the price of an item or whether the base price of the item remains the same regardless of the addition of a modifier. Dynamic Pricing Rules are useful in creating a single item which is priced differently based on whether or not it is being sold as a modifier.
