You can create modifier sets from the Items section of your online Square Dashboard. There isn't a way to rearrange the orders of modifiers in a set, or rearrange the order of the set.
However, if you've set up required and non-required modifier for a specific item you will see in the Restaurants app that Non-required modifiers will be grouped first, with those modifiers listed alphabetically; and below you'll see Required modifiers and an alphabetize list of those modifiers. The video in this Support Center shows how modifiers appear in the app (3:35).
Can you reply here to let me know how being able to rearrange modifiers would help? Any examples you can provide will help our Restaurants team to make improvements!
I realize that this is a year late to the party, but I have examples for the need to rearrange the modifier sets on the Restaurant side. When you're taking orders they move conversationally. If you are taking an order for say a breakfast platter. You may have options in the platter for Bacon or Sausage, and 2 eggs with grits or gravy. For a platter like this you have multiple modifier sets. One for the breakfast sides, one for the egg type, one for the grits/gravy. Along with that each of those modifier sets may need their own personalized modifiers (Crispy or floppy bacon, crispy sausage for the meats, egg variaties or the option to add more eggs to the platter, etc). The ordering process would move along much more quickly if those optional modifiers could be directly below the required ones. Instead the employee has to scroll up and down the menu screen during the ordering process and that makes for some awkard conversation pauses and longer ordering times.
I use square for restaurants and I want to sort the modifiers so they make sense.. for example. I want the "Type of bread" to be on top and type of sauce to be 2nd.. etc
I can do that in the old square POS but square for restaurants it keeps sorting it randomly.
Hi @Somerestaurant - Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Square Seller Community👋
I went ahead and merged your post to an existing thread where other Square Sellers have discussed organizing modifiers in Square for Restaurants. We merge duplicate conversations together to keep like comments in one place, and to make it easier for others to find the thread in the future.
Please see the reply from one of our Sellers, @SweetB, which has been marked as the Best Answer.
I hope this information is helpful but please do let me know if you have any additional questions.
It's been 7 years since the original issue was presented - a basic sort/arrange for modifiers. Adding a number and/or symbols to force a sorting sequence is unprofessional and can be very confusing for anyone. Has there been any movement on this?
I don't have an update for you on this Feature Request, at the moment. It still is not on the roadmap to be implemented. It doesn't mean this will never be considered going forward.
I have moved this long standing thread to our Ideate Board, so our Product Team can see how many sellers are continuously interested in seeing it developed.
Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to this request. If you know of any other sellers who would be interested, please feel free to tag them.
Thanks, Kassi! It’s kind of surprising to hear it hasn’t made it to the roadmap, but hopefully the Product Team can see the low hanging fruit that’s been hanging for so long. 😭
