Let guests choose toppings for the whole pizza, the left half, or the right half. Set this up in your Owner Dashboard with a Pizza option group. Options and option groups are also known as modifiers and modifier groups.
Requirements
The Manage menus permission. See Staff jobs and permissions.
A pizza item with a topping group. See Create and manage option groups.
Before you start
These steps are for menus you build in Owner, including Owner POS menus. If your menu comes from a third-party POS, set up toppings in that third-party POS instead.
Use your Owner Dashboard for this setup. The Owner App has a Pizza topping setting, but it doesn't set up half-and-half choices or half prices for guests.
Adding the same topping option to another group reuses its price and settings. Create a separate topping option when a different pizza size needs a different topping charge.
In the Owner Dashboard
Choose your location and open Menu in the left-hand navigation.
Set the topping group to Pizza
Open Option groups.
Open the topping group attached to your pizza.
Under Option selection, choose Pizza.
Review the toppings under Options.
Click Save.
To require toppings or limit the total selected, turn on Limit option selection before saving. Set Minimum and Maximum. A minimum of zero makes toppings optional.
Need a new topping? Create the option, add it to this group, then Save the group.
Set the full-pizza topping charge
Open the individual topping from the group, such as Mushrooms.
Set Amount to its whole-pizza charge.
Click Save on the topping.
A $12 pizza with $2 Mushrooms costs $14 before tax and fees. Left or right placement is not automatically half-price.
Charge a different amount for a half
For toppings with left/full/right placement set up, the option editor has Alternate pricing. Use it when a half should cost less than a whole-pizza topping.
Open the topping option.
Turn on Alternate pricing.
Enter Left / right pricing.
Click Save.
For example, set Amount to $2 and Left / right pricing to $1. Mushrooms then add $2 on the whole pizza or $1 on either half. Without alternate pricing, either half keeps the $2 charge.
Toppings set up before may already have their own placement choices. Check them on your ordering website before you offer half-pizza choices or prices.
Add the group to the right pizza
Open Menu › Items and choose the pizza.
Under Option groups, click Add Option groups.
Select the topping group and confirm with Add Option group.
Click Save Item.
If the group is already attached, you do not need to add it again. For toppings that appear only after choosing a size, attach the group to that size option using Set up nested options.
On your Owner Tablet or Owner POS
For the complete guest setup and separate half-pizza prices, use the Dashboard steps above.
Add pizza-side choices to a topping
Use this for a topping within a group already set to Pizza in the Dashboard. This setting alone does not change another group type into a Pizza group.
Open Menu in the left-hand navigation.
Choose the menu and open the pizza through its category.
Open its topping group, then the individual topping.
Tap Pizza topping.
Choose Yes.
Tap Done.
Done saves this change without another Save button. This adds full/left/right placement choices to the topping; it does not set a cheaper half-pizza price. Choosing No removes those side choices, so check before changing a topping guests already order.
Choose placement while taking an order
In the pizza's topping section at checkout, choose Whole, Left, or Right, then select the topping for that placement. These are section controls on Owner POS, not the same buttons guests see online.
Check placement and total price
Open the pizza on your ordering website. Check one topping on the whole pizza, then on each half. Confirm both the placement and the added charge.
If guests order through your restaurant's app, check the pizza there too. Left or right doesn't automatically mean half price.
