Generally speaking, "Modifiers" are customizations or adjustments that your guests can request for their food and drink. They also provide the special instructions to your kitchen or bar to prepare the menu items as the guest requested.
Item Modifiers are the individual modifications you'd like to offer. They are unique to your business.
Modifier Groups categorize your similar Item Modifiers together and can be added to your Inventory Items so that the server or guest is prompted to make a selection from that Group with that Item. For example, prompting to choose which type of cheese they want on their burger.
You are an Arryved Brewery Management (ABM) user and your Arryved POS is synced with your ABM.
To add and edit Items in your ABM, you must be a User with either the Admin, Inventory, or Production User Roles.
To create or edit Modifiers, you must be an Arryved Portal Super Admin or an Admin with one of the following Portal Permissions:
INVENTORY
ALL ACCESS
FULL ADMIN
Item Modifiers and Modifier Groups are not Items themselves; therefore do not live in ABM. They must be managed in your Arryved Portal.

With the ABM + POS Sync, new Menu Items are added on the ABM side, and then Item Modifiers and Modifier Groups are added on the Arryved Portal side. Here are the steps:
In your ABM, add your Menu Items. Wait up to 30 seconds for them to sync and become visible in your Arryved Portal.
In your Arryved Portal, create Item Modifiers.
In your Arryved Portal, create Modifier Groups.
In your Arryved Portal, add Modifier Groups to your Menu Items (Inventory Items).
Use the guides below for full instructions on how to create Menu Items, Item Modifiers, and Modifier Groups. Remember, Items must be created in your ABM first, then everything else in your Arryved Portal:
