Menu Variations Made Easy: Size, Hot/Iced, Milk, Sugar and Paid Extras in Your Restaurant POS

A cafe does not sell ''a coffee''. It sells a 280 ml iced oat-milk latte with less sugar and an extra shot. If your POS cannot express that, staff scribble notes, the kitchen guesses, and the bill is wrong.

The problem with one-price-per-item POS

Most basic restaurant software forces you to create separate products: ''Latte Small Hot'', ''Latte Small Iced'', ''Latte Large Hot''... A single drink explodes into dozens of items. Menus become unmanageable and reports become useless.

Item Builder: build once, sell hundreds of combinations

In HisabPlus Restora you define the item once and attach choice groups:

• Size - 220 / 280 / 350 ml with its own price.
• Type - Hot or Iced (+30).
• Milk - Regular, Oat (+40), Almond (+45); price can even differ per size.
• Sugar - No / Less / Normal / Extra.
• Paid extras - Extra shot, cream, toppings.

With only ~16 setup entries, one latte reaches 768+ ways to order.

Where the customer's choices show up

• QR menu, waiter app and POS - the price updates live as options are tapped.
• Kitchen ticket (KOT) - prints the item plus only the changes: ICED, OAT MILK, LESS SUGAR, + EXTRA SHOT, NO ONION.
• Customer bill - each paid option on its own line, then the total.

Time savers

• Copy one item's setup to an entire category in one click.
• Add pictures per option so guests choose visually.
• Keep reports clean: sales still roll up under the parent item.

FAQ

Can I charge extra for add-ons like cheese or extra patty?

Yes. Paid extras are priced individually and appear on the bill.

Does the chef see special requests?

Yes. Notes and changes print clearly on the station's KOT, so the kitchen sees what is different from the standard dish.

Is it useful for burgers, pizza and biryani too?

Absolutely - crust, size, toppings, spice level, portion: the same builder works for any menu.
