Variation Groups

Updated

Variations are attributes that define an item. Most frequently, variations are used for size or quantity, but they can also be used to pick a type of the item. Variations belong to variation groups, which function similarly to modifier groups but with more limitations.

Each item can only have one variation group, and a customer must always pick one of the variation options for the item. They will never be able to pick more than one variation and a choice must be made to add the item to the cart.

On the kiosk, variation groups will default to a display like the one below.

Creating Variation Groups

Notice: If an item had a price set during its creation, any added variation prices will be in addition to the flat item price.

To create a new variation group:

  1. Log in to the GRUBBRR Portal at the company or branch level
    • This will be consistent with whichever location you have previously been configuring your menu 
  2. Select 'Menu' from the left sidebar menu
  3. Select 'Modifier Management' from the dropdown
  4. Select 'Common Variation Groups' from the dropdown
  5. Select '+Add New' in the upper right corner of the screen
  6. Enter a variation group name into the Name field
    • This is the name of the variation group (ex: Drink Sizes, Chicken Count, Wrap Style)
  7. Enter a variation option name
    • This is the name of the individual variation choice (ex: Small, 6)
  8. Upload an image
    • You must upload an image if you are using the GRUBBRR Kiosk
  9. Enter a display order value
    • This will determine the order the variation options will display in
  10. Enter a price value
    • If the variation does not have a price, enter '0,' as the field is required
  11. Select the '+' icon
  12. Repeat steps 6 - 10 for all variation options
  13. Select 'Save'

Mapping Variation Groups

Once you create a variation group, you have to assign it to the necessary items. When you finish adding a new variation group you will be taken back to the variation group master list.

To map a variation group:

  1. Locate the variation group from the list
    • From the GRUBBRR Portal, you will be in Menu > Catalog Management > Common Variation Groups
  2. Select the Items Mapping icon (list on a blue background) in the top right corner of the group
  3. Select all items you want this variation group to be associated with
    • You will only be able to select items that do not already have a variation group
  4. Select 'Save'

Other Actions

In addition to creation and mapping, you can edit existing groups and delete groups you no longer wish to use.
