Multiple Modifiers Selection when taking orders?

When taking orders, why aren't we allowed to select multiple modifiers on our side of the POS? IT slows the process of taking orders, for example: a customer may want 3 potatoes, 2 Corn, add 20 eggs, but I'm only allowed to take one at time and I have to go out of the modifier to add multiple options.

@Seafood1

I’d check the Selection Rules for that modifier set in your Square Dashboard under Items > Modifiers. Turn on “Allow more than one modifier to be selected,” then “Allow multiple quantities of a single modifier.” Check the maximum there too, then try your 3 potatoes, 2 corn, and 20 eggs on the register.

If 20 eggs is a common order, you could make a priced “20 extra eggs” modifier. That gives staff one button to tap and keeps the eggs listed under the dish on the kitchen ticket.

Hey @Seafood1, check the settings on the modifier set itself in the Dashboard (Items > Modifiers). You can set the min/max number of selections there, and I believe there's an option to allow the same modifier to be picked more than once. If max is set to 1, you'll be stuck doing exactly what you're describing.

If the quantities get big (20 eggs!), it can be quicker to set those up as their own items rather than modifiers, so you can just punch in the quantity.
