# Step by Step Guide: Menu Item Modifications

## This guide covers how to create modifiers for additional options for menu items such as toppings, seasonings, side dishes, etc.

#### Product > Modification

2. Click on **"Add Modifier Group"**

#### Edit Modifier Group

**Step 1: Enter Modifier Group Name**

- If your POS uses only one language, enter the same name in both columns. 
    - *Ex. To display "Steak Temp" in English only, type "Steak Temp" in both the English and Chinese name fields.*

**Step 2: Select Request, Side, or Special Request**

- **Request:** You can only choose one option in request and this option is complimentary for customers 
    - *Ex. Steak Temperature: Rare, Medium, Medium Well, etc*
- **Side:** You can choose from multiple options, each priced at a different price. The side addition/dish ingredient group has "max" and "min" functions to control the available options 
    - *Ex. Extra Meat, Bubble Tea Toppings*
- **Special Request:**

**Step 3: Activate/deactivate modification groups**

- Active, Required, Self-Order, Online-Order
