Variants

A variant is an option underneath a product, a size, a temperature, a side, that a guest chooses before it’s added to their order.

What a variant is for

Rather than creating separate products for “Coffee, small” and “Coffee, large,” add one product, Coffee, and give it two variants. Guests see a single item on the menu and pick their option from there.

Adding variants to a product

From a product’s edit screen, add each variant with:

• Name, what the guest sees, “Large,” “Iced,” “Extra shot.”
• Price adjustment, added to (or subtracted from) the product’s base price. A variant doesn’t need to cost more, a smaller size can carry a negative adjustment.
• Description, optional extra detail if the name alone isn’t enough.

How guests interact with them

If a product has any variants, tapping it opens a selection screen before it’s added to the order, guests can’t skip straight past the choice. Products without variants are added directly with no extra step.

Variants vs. combo options

A variant is one choice on a product. When a product needs several choices at once, a protein and a side and a drink on the same lunch special, that’s combo options instead. A product uses one or the other, not both together: if it has combo options, guests build the combo and its variants aren’t shown.

Reordering

Variants appear to guests in the order you add them from a product’s edit screen.
