Togo Cocktails

Whistle2016 — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:06:07 GMT

We are starting to do togo cocktails that we package ourselves. Meaning a customer can get any alcoholic beverage ( margarita, jack and coke, miller lt) in a togo can that we then seal the lid.

I am looking for a way to include a charge on all togo cocktails sepretly, without having to recreate my full bar menu.

Keep in mind a lot of these drinks will be included on their dine in tab, I do not want to make them have a separate tab for them so I can not add a service area charge.

Any recommendations please let me know.

Thanks!

How are you currently indicating that the drink is to-go? Are you using a modifier or just using the dining option system modifier? I think the easiest option to be able to use your current menu, and avoid using a service charge would be to use a to-go modifier for cocktails and add the charge to the mod.

@Whistle2016 Make a New Menu called to go cocktails. Add Copies of all your menu groups fot cocktails (DO NOT DO A DEEP COPY EVER) to this menu.

Depending on you pricing config you can ether now use menu specific pricing and set all to go prices. Or if you use menu group inherited pricing methods just set new price on groups in Togo menu

I am trying out both currently but neither of them carry a charge. I need it to charge but I also need to be able to see what are sales are for togo cocktails. If i do the modifier with a price I wont be able to see that full price or even items when looking at reports.

That is what im trying to avoid. We addd new Liquors all the time and change pricing randomly. This will then make my job harder. We already have numerous of a single items, which makes invintory hard enough

Example "titos vodka"

Titos with mixers

Titos without mixers

sub titos

now a togo Titos

@Whistle2016 No no, You are copying the menu group not the menu items. There is only one menu item

In order to clean that up you need to make everything start with the menu item

So for your examples

TIto's would be your menu item

(you can use sizes for rx, single double, then modifier groups for mixers under titos or what menu group you have it set up as

for sub you would add tito's as a modifier using the function create modifier from existing menu item.

For to go i would say you can use menu specific pricing or inherit size based pricing from the menu group.

I know this sounds extremely complex and I probably cannot word it the best however I would be more than happy to explain just shoot me a dm.

While not a vodka here is an example of one item used in many ways. Both each menu group and/or modifier group have different pricing structure.

Or you can use menu specific prices. From what can guess is you would benefit a lot by changing the pricing structure for the menu to clean up multiple items
