Using Order Tags as Product Modifiers

Emre, this is a great tutorial! Right now I am developing a sample SambaPOS solution for a Pizza Shop. I understand the concept behind modifiers and using product tags as product modifiers. One of the things I was wondering is there a way to have Order Tags recognize Portions?

For example, the sample store I am developing has 3 different size (portion) pizzas. When a customer wants to add a topping, there would be 3 different topping prices to correspond with the portion ordered. If the Order Tags (Product Modifiers) are unable to recognize the portion ordered, would it be better for me to just create 3 separate products and have separate Product Modifier Group for each size?

Thanks.

We don’t have order tag prices by portion feature but if we even have that I’ll recommend you not to configure pizza sizes as product portions. Create separate products for each size and configure pizza types as modifiers. I mean instead of creating a margarita pizza product and add portions as medium, large,etc…, Create large pizza product and configure pizza types (margarita, vegetarian, etc) as modifiers. However each business have their own rules so it should be configured as how business needs that. Let me know the use case if you really need to create sizes as portions.

PERFECT! I felt this was the most logical approach and this is the one we will use! I think it will also make workflow better at the store level.

Emre, is there a way of exporting an existing set of Order Tags in the list to a new Order Tag List?

Hi Emre

how can we add price automatic for extra toppings?
For example: salad comes with any 6 toppings at price of $7.00 and each additional topping will be $0.50 extra, if we have 30 topping to choose from and customer choose 8 toppings, then price should come $8.00 ($7.00 + 0.50 + 0.50) automatic.

is this possible anyway?

Is there a way to map order tags to Sub Menu Tags… so I have burgers as a menu category… and there are Regular burgers and Deluxe Burgers that include sides and a drink… which are under the Sub Menu Tag of Deluxe… These deluxe items can have different sides than the Regular burgers… but i want to keep them under the same category instead of having a regular burger and deluxe burger button.

That sounds like your attempting to use Submenu wrong. You can not (Should not) put order tags to a sub menu as sub menu is NOT a product its just a menu.

Why can you not just have regular Burgers product with its own order tags… and deluxe burger product with its own order tags?

Acutally i just figured it out… Im mapping it based on portion… so when i select deluxe… it picks up the extra sides… i think im starting to get the hang of this! :smile:

Its all relative to how you configure it. So Deluxe is defined as a portion? Sides are your order tags?

yes… same burger just different price and it comes with a side of your choice… so now when they select deluxe the sides pop up. I was trying to do it under a submenu because i thought i had to split them up to get it to work. Turns out i dont need to!

So deluxe is not a different portion size the only difference is what comes with it? I would not set deluxe as a portion size in this case… it should be its own product… Portion size should be used exactly like it sounds… a different portion of same product.

Deluxe Burger should be its own product…

I was doing that but the problem is that we want to keep everything under the same category… If we do that then i cant map the order tags for the deluxe items by group… i can map to product but having 10 products to map seems like a pain. Ill have to look at it some more and see what makes it easier for the wait staff. As far as portion is concerned it doesnt matter to me… the amount is the same… its the just name and price thats different. So I have a 5oz Regular burger and a 5oz Deluxe burger that includes the sides. So portion for both is the same price is just different.

What are you calling group?

Regular hamburger and deluxe hamburger should both be under same product group…

You would make one order tag group and map that order tag group to Deluxe Burger product… what do you mean by map 10 products? What 10 products?

Can you share your process you are wanting to do. I understand you have Regular burgers… What order tags do you want for these… you have deluxe burgers what order tags do you want for these? 5oz Deluxe burger is not a portion… of regular burger… its a different product.

We can help you set it up correctly if you can give us more information of what your trying to do and how you want it to work.

I think i got it… if i run into issues or questions ill let you know. I understand what your saying tho. To create two seperate products under the same product group.

once we set maximum quantity of order tag let say 5 then if i order one item with 5 tag but later customer change mind say he want only 3 tag.

how can i reduce the quantity of certain tag once selected coz clicking the tag again is increasing the quantity!!!

There is a remove button.

it will remove the whole tag wont reduce the quantity

It won’t decrease quantity. It will simply remove tag.
