Set Up Nested Modifiers

To use the Nested Modifiers features, you need to create modifiers, modifier sets, and items to be linked together in the following order.

1. Create Nested Modifier Set
2. Attach the Nested Modifier Set
3. Assign the Modifier Set to the Item

The example used in the walkthrough below is for a Baked Potato Add nested set to appear once the item 8oz Sirloin is added to the ticket and the side of a Baked Potato is added.
