Hey @VoodooNK. Currently, Square does not offer the ability to have quantities for modifier sets. I know for a fact this has been requested and is somewhere in the evaluation process along with other requests for enhanced modifier capabilities. Regardless, you’ll need to restructure your items to get something close to, but not exactly, what you want to happen. Fair warning — all recommendations I am going to suggest will require multiple items in carts rather than the simpler one item. This fact can not be worked around or changed.
Recommendation 1. Keep things as you have them, but limit the meal option modifier set to only allow one modifier (beef, chicken, etc) to be selected. This is probably the simplest option. Then you can add beef at 7:30 and specify how many beef meals there are. Then, you do the same for chicken. Etc.
Recommendation 2. Don’t use modifiers at all. Use Option sets — one for seating times, one for meal options. This will auto-create variations of the format “7:30pm Beef,” “7:30 Chicken,” etc that can be chosen and quantified. This will result in quite a few more variations depending on your seating times list, but it would have the virtue of being clear and what each item is and what customers/employee have to do. Personally, I wouldn’t use it but I know sellers who do and love it.
There are probably other recommendations I could make. But I think those two give you the idea of what you need to change in your mindset in order to get Square to work for you at the moment. Let me know if you have any other questions.
