An option group is a set of choices you attach to an item, like Size or Toppings, so guests can customize their order. You create the group, choose how guests pick from it, then attach it to any items that need it. Options and option groups are also known as modifiers and modifier groups.
✅ Short on time? Ask Owner Agent to set up an option group for you. Open Ask Owner in your Owner Dashboard or Owner App.
Choose a display type
When you create or edit an option group in the Owner Dashboard, you pick a display type. It controls how guests choose from the group.
Display type | Guests can | Best for |
Single | Pick exactly one (required) | Size, flavor, protein |
Multiple | Pick several optional add-ons | Toppings, add-ons |
Quantity | Order more than one of the same option | Extra sauces, sides |
Pizza | Place toppings on the left, right, or whole pizza | Pizza toppings |
Create an option group
You can create an option group in the Owner Dashboard or the Owner App.
In the Owner Dashboard
Click Menu in the left-hand navigation.
Click the Option Groups tab at the top of the page.
Click Create Option Group.
Enter the Group Name that guests will see.
Select a Display Type (see the table above).
Set any selection limits, then click Save.
The limits you can set depend on the display type:
Single: guests pick one and the group is always required, so there is nothing extra to set.
Multiple, Quantity, or Pizza: turn on Limit option selection, then set a minimum and maximum. A minimum of 1 or more makes the group required.
ℹ️ Note: After you save the group, add options to it so guests have choices to pick from.
In the Owner App
ℹ️ Note: Option groups you create in the app use the older custom setup. To use a display type (Single, Multiple, Quantity, or Pizza), create or edit the group in the Owner Dashboard.

Tap the dropdown arrow and choose the menu you want to work with.
