Any options that the menu item requires to be filled out will appear. Once these selections are finalized, you can select the “Done” button at the bottom.
This button will also show the dollar amount that the order will be adjusted by.
After selecting “done“, you will be shown the item that was added and asked to label why the item was added. Select from “Customer Request” or “Item Substitution.”
It’s important to select therightreason the item was added, as it will be bucketed by reason on your store’s Financial Statement each month.

How to submit multiple order adjustments
You are also able to submit multiple adjustments within the same order. If a customer calls asking for the removal of an item, and the addition of another item.
You’re able to complete both within the Order Adjustment screen, though you will need to make all adjustments at the same time before submitting the adjustments.
If a customer calls a second time to adjust their order or your restaurant runs out of a second ingredient, you will need to call Customer Care in order to make further adjustments.
Processing order adjustments
After the Adjustments are made to the order (Adding, Removing, and/or Editing an Item), the adjustments will start processing as soon as they are submitted on the following screens.
Be sure to review the adjustments before clicking submit on the windows that pop up.
How to submit a custom adjustment
If the above categories don’t apply to the type of adjustment needed for an order, there is a Custom Adjustment option.
This option should be used when the other options do not apply, as it will be its own line item within Transactions and will provide very little detail as to the reason for the adjustment.
Self Delivery restaurants can use this option to remove delivery fees from an order.
