Menu Item Matrix
The Menu Item Matrix provides a comprehensive overview of all menu items, allowing for efficient updates and edits.
The matrix breaks down the following details for each menu item:
Name: The name of the menu item as seen by customers.
Price: The item’s current price.
Category: The category assigned to the item (e.g., Appetizers, Pizzas, Beverages).
Availability: Indicates whether the item is currently available for ordering.
Print Routing: This specifies the designated printer or station for preparing the item (e.g., kitchen, pizza, bar, etc.).
Stock dropdown: Indicates whether the item is in stock or temporarily unavailable. You can mark an item as out of stock for 12 hours, 24 hours, or indefinitely—ideal for seasonal items or those with an uncertain return date. If the item has multiple types, you can adjust the availability for specific types while keeping others available for ordering.
Search and Filter ToolsThe interface includes search and filtering options to locate items based on Name, Category, Availability, etc.

Modifiers
Modifiers let you offer add-ons, extras, or choices for menu items. Modifiers are created once and reused across items using modifier groups.
There are two parts to understand:
- Modifiers are the individual add-ons, like Bacon or Extra Cheese.
- Modifier groups control how those modifiers appear, how they are priced, and how customers select them.
Modifiers
Modifiers are individual items that customers can add to an order.
- Each modifier has a Name and an optional Display name.
- If no display name is set, the name is shown to customers.
- A modifier can be used in multiple modifier groups.
Stock status
Modifier stock is managed globally.
- If a modifier is marked Out of stock, it is unavailable everywhere it is used.
- Out-of-stock modifiers are shown as unavailable and cannot be added to the cart.
- Stock status is managed from the Modifiers page only.
Modifier groups
Modifier groups control how modifiers are presented to customers.
A modifier group defines:
- Which modifiers are available
- How modifiers are priced
- Whether selections are required
- How many modifiers a customer can choose
Modifier groups can be added directly to items.
Creating a modifier group
Modifier groups control how add-ons and options are shown to customers. Use modifier groups to organize modifiers, set pricing rules, and define how customers make selections.
To create a new modifier group, go to Modifiers, then select + Create group.
Name modifier group
- Name Internal only. This name is not shown to customers and is used to help you identify the group in your menu setup.
- Display name Shown to customers when ordering. If you do not enter a display name, the group name is shown instead.
Size-based pricing
Choose how modifiers in this group are priced across sizes.
- Modifiers have the same price for all sizes Use one price regardless of item size.
- Set different modifier prices for sizes Set different prices for each size, such as Small, Medium, and Large. Prices must be entered for every size.

Modifiers can be reused across multiple modifier groups.
Modifier stock status is managed separately and applies everywhere the modifier is used.
Selection rules
Control how customers interact with the modifier group.
- Require a selection Customers must choose at least one modifier before adding the item to the cart.
- Maximum selections Set the maximum number of modifiers a customer can select from this group. This limit applies per item and does not vary by size.
Saving the group
When finished, select Create to save the modifier group.

Online Menu Layout

Reorder Items: Click the pencil to the right of the category to adjust the placement of individual items within categories to improve customer browsing.
Best Sellers
The Best Sellers badge automatically highlights the top five most ordered items on your menu. This helps customers quickly see what is popular, especially when ordering for the first time.
How it works:
- Items are selected based on the last 30 days of Slice order data
- A Best Sellers badge appears next to each qualifying item on your menu in the app and on the web
- Only items priced at $5 or more are included by default
- These are the same menu items in the categories you decide, just with an added badge
This feature is turned on for all shops by default. If you want to turn it off or adjust the $5 minimum price requirement, please contact your Account Manager or call (855) 237-4992.
