Variants on Menu Items
2 min read#42
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
- Scroll down to the Variants section
- Click + Add variant
- Enter name (e.g. "Small") and price (e.g. 29)
- Repeat for each variant
- Click Save
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: variant is shown under the item name
- 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
This feature is part of Vendion POS.
