A Modifier can be prefixed by a Prep Mod, which is an instruction like only, lite & on the side. For example, if you choose the Prep Mod "Only" followed by the modifier "bacon" then the item being modified will send to the kitchen with the instruction "only bacon."
You can configure up to 10 unique Prep Mods. Each Modifier Canvas allows you to choose up to 3 Prep Mods to use alongside Focus's 3 default Modifier Commands. The default Modifier Commands are typically No, Sub, & Extra unless they have been renamed. This article will walk you through the creation of a Prep Mod & how to assign that Prep Mod to a Modifier Canvas using Focus Office.
