Re: How to rearrange modifiers on Square for Restaurants

I'm sorry for this late reply @dv1!

 

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!

May 2024. *skeleton emoji* still waiting on order of modifiers. Clover has it.

Update:

 

Modifiers CAN be placed in certain orders. The order of the modifiers in the global modifiers list dictates the order it appears when it is added to a menu item. The order inside a menu item cannot be changed as far as I can tell.

Does this issue still exist in May 2024?  I can't get my modifier group order to change on POS either.

@Kassi_ How in the world has this not been implemented yet?? This is one of the most frustrating things about using Square and it has been YEARS since the issue was first brought up. This alone makes our process at my business frustrating and makes it so things are missed all the time when taking customers' orders. SOO incredibly frustrating!

Yes, this is quite ridiculous. I just started square for restaurants and this is awful. It’s confusing our cooks too. I can’t believe this basic function is still an issue. 

Yeah we definitely need an easy way to reorder/rearrange modifiers in Square for Restaurants. How has it been 5 years and still no progress on this?

You definitely can rearrange the order of modifiers in Square Online. That's why it's so weird that you can't do it in Square for Restaurants.

Hello,

 

me again. Just doing my quarterly reminder that square need to implement this small nuanced change.

 

thank you,

 everyone 

This is such an easy fix for Square since they have the feature on the retail side. I wish they would just implement the same on the restaurant side. Taking an order at the cash register with the modifiers sorted a certain way would make the barista and the customer's life SO EASY!!! HURRY UP SQUARE!!!

It's been 4 years and still haven't fixed this small but annoying problem? Please fix soon or maybe I'll look for alternatives.
