Summary
Advanced Add/Remove is a feature that is used in conjunction with ‘Plus Groups’. When altering a dish from the modifier screen at an amount that is not a whole unit, such as double the amount of a plus ingredient, any charges set in the plus group can be altered by a pre-determined multiplier set using this feature. The advantage of this is that users do not require management privileges to make price changes when ordering anything from the plus group in anything other than whole amounts.
