DO NOT MAKE BUTTON

[SANTAFETEAHOUSE]

Hello, We just transitioned from Aloha to Toast. Love it but need a "DO NOT MAKE" button for every item on our menu. Spent time on the phone with toast and he was not able to assist. Any info or guidance is appreciated. Thanks

We’ve set up a similar configuration to what rcmck described, where we created a 'Words & Prep Mods' modifier group that is only visible in the POS and attached it to every menu group which then will show under each menu item. 

Create and Manage Modifier Groups and Modifier Options

I like that idea. I've got it set up in each mod group,  so pretty much the  same but  different!

There are three ways to go about this.

1 is to create a modifier that says don't make and have it on every in house item 

2.  if it is certain items at certain station you can go into device options and add menus to non-firing prep station.  (ex drinks at a bar POS).

3. you can create a dining option called don't make which will allow you to select the individual item and change the dining option to say don't make

Can you please elaborate on your #2 and 3?

I built every mod group with these buttons:  (We get 5 buttons in a  row)
Don't make...No...Add...Extra...On  Side
Depending upon the item, then
Sub... Only...To Go (and 2 blank spaces)
If it is  something that doesn't need mods, I created an item  for  Don't Make.  
For example,  a bar item like a draft or glass of wine.   
Seems like a lot of work, but I have  a mod  group with these  set up and just copy it over.  
If I want to alphabetize, I do that first then just move  those to the top. 

I'm really, really **bleep** about a clean database, so I reuse everything appropriate.  Even to the point of creating a new restaurant's  menu and how I copy over.  (Toast  front-line help absolutely screwed me on this one, so I learned the hard way to keep it clean myself. ) 
Anyway, that's how  I do it.
