With the help of “Instruction” and “Option Set”, you can make your menu more flexible.
These are two examples of the item with instructions or option set on POS.
Basically, you can pre-define some notes, options, or modifications as the INSTURCTIONS. And the INSTRUCRIONS can be applied to items as you need.
While you can set some items or INSTRUCTIONS as an OPTION SET and apply it to an item, and the items in the OPTION SET can be applied with INSTRUCTIONS.
