Variants on Menu Items
Categories and articles
Variants let you offer the same item in different sizes with different prices – without creating separate items.
Examples:
- Coca-Cola: Small (29 SEK), Medium (39 SEK), Large (49 SEK)
- Pizza Margherita: Regular (129 SEK), Family (199 SEK)
Create variants:
- Open the item under Menu → Products
- Go to the Pris (price) tab and the Varianter (variants) section. A new item must be saved first – until then it says "Spara artikeln först för att lägga till varianter." (save the item first to add variants)
- Click + Lägg till (add) in the Varianter card
- Enter name (e.g. "Small") and price (e.g. 29). If you want a different price when the variant is sold to take away, fill in Ta med (takeaway price incl. VAT) below the row. Empty = same price as dine in
- Repeat for each variant. At least two variants are required
- Click Spara (save)
The takeaway price: the price in the variant's Pris field applies to Äta här (dine in) and Bordsbeställning (table order). When the tab is Ta med (takeaway) or Utkörning (delivery), and for pickup and delivery online, the variant's Ta med price is used if it is filled in.
How variants work in the POS:
- Staff clicks on the item
- A dialog shows all variants with name and price
- Staff selects the right variant
- The item is added to the cart with variant name and price
How variants are displayed:
- In the POS: the product card shows three dots (•••) indicating variants
- In the cart: "Coca-Cola (Large)" with the correct price
- On the ticket: the variant is shown in brackets after the item name, e.g. "Coca-Cola (Large)"
- In guest ordering: the guest selects a variant before ordering
Edit variants:
- Change name or price directly in the variant list
- Delete a variant by clicking the trash icon
Tips:
- A product with variants requires a variant selection. Its tile shows the starting price; the selected variant determines the final price.
- Sort variants in the order you want them displayed
- Variants and open price can't be combined – if the item has variants the price is already set per variant, so open price is disabled
