# Sub-Option Sets

## What is a sub-option set, and how do I create one?

#### What is it for?

Breakfast cafes, wing shops, and all kinds of restaurants may want to require a cooking style, dressing option, or other modification for their add-ons. The sub-option set allows you to create options that will automatically pop-up a box to select those extra options.

#### What does it look like?

Attach it to a modifier group and it will pop out like this:

![SubOptSet-1](https://help.dashboard.hazlnut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SubOptSet-1.png?width=600&name=SubOptSet-1.png)

#### How do I create them? 

- Log into the Hazlnut dashboard
- Go to the Menu Management page
- Click 'Sync PoS Menu' and wait for the sync-complete notification to pop-up
- First check the Sub-Modifier Group you want to use exists (*the one you want to pop-up*)  
    - Go to the Modifier Groups tab
    - Find the group you want to use (e.g. **Choose 2** or **Select a dressing...**)
- Go to the Modifiers tab
- Click ‘Modify’ next to the modifier that is your base (e.g. **Half & Half** or **Side Salad**) 
    - *This is the modifier that when a customer clicks on it, the pop-up will be triggered to appear*
- Click ‘Option Sets’
- Click ‘Add Option Set’
- Look for the modifier group you want to pop-up (e.g. **Choose 2** or **Select a dressing...**)
- Select your settings 
    - Required? - Will customers be forced to select an option before they can add this to their cart
    - Quant Slider? - Can they select this modifier in multiples 
    - Minimum - 0 if not required, 1+ if required
    - Maximum - 999 if unlimited, or select the max. amount they can add
