FAQ
How do you turn off modifiers for the entire menu at a specific location?
To do this, navigate to the modifier via Menu Entities > Menus > Groups > Item > Options. Once you locate the specific modifier (i.e., Carne Asada), toggle the Carne Asada option to off (gray) for the location that is out of the modifier option. Once you toggle the modifier off for the specified location, it is off for the entire menu at that location and guests will no longer be able to choose that option/modifier until you turn it back on.
