Variants of a product item are modifications (i.e. size, colour, weight) of a particular food item.
Options of a product item are used if a product requires customisation from the customers (i.e. different toppings)
For a basic guide on Variants and Options, please click here.
When an item requires different modifications and a certain degree of customisation, variants and options need to be used together. An example of this will be a small, medium, large salad, with different toppings or different toppings pricing for each size.
How do I set both Variants and Options for an item?
All these items can be created in Menu > Menu Name > Product.

4. Enter your variants name and price in the fields.
5. If you want to have more than two variants, click Save.

8. Click the Add button to add new options to the variant.

19. Add another item by repeating step 15 to 20 but skipping the add new category step. For the category section, since we have created a category, select that category again (i.e. Pizza Toppings).
20. Repeat until all items are created and click Save.
21. Tick the check box besides the option that you want to add.
22. Click Save.
