How to add modifiers, sizes and add-ons to a digital menu
Cooking point, sides, sauces and extras: how dish options are set up and how Mise creates them from one sentence.
What dish options are
Few dishes are ordered the same way every time: a steak can be medium or well done, a burger can come with extras, a side is picked from several and some guests want the sauce on the side. Options (also called modifiers) are those variations inside each dish. Set up well, guests see everything they can choose without asking the server.
Examples that restaurants set up most often
The most common cases are the cooking point of a steak, a side of your choice, sauces, paid extras (more cheese, a double portion) and size variants. Think of each group of options as a question you ask the guest: which cooking point, which side, which sauce. That keeps your digital menu tidy and easy to read on a phone.
How Mise creates them from one sentence
Instead of building every group by hand, open the chat with Mise and describe what you want in your own words, for example: "add a cooking point to all the steaks: rare, medium and well done". Mise adds the options to the dishes you point to. Because AI can misread an ambiguous sentence, check in your account how they turned out before you call the menu done.
Review and adjust whenever you like
Options are never final: you can ask Mise to add a new sauce, remove an extra or rename something, or do it by hand from your account. Mise acts only with your permissions and asks for confirmation before deleting or making bulk changes. Try it during the 30-day trial, no credit card needed.
