Summary

When multiples of an item are ordered, the "How Many" feature can be used to apply changes to a subset of the items ordered. For example: if the user orders 7 of an item, the feature can be used to apply changes (such as modifying or expediting) to just 1 or more of the items. This offers better speed of service for the guest. 

The following changes can be made to the subset: 

• Modify (if item has components or serving options) 
• Remove
• Change order type
• Expedite

Configuration

One of the changes that can be made is to change order types of an item on a multiple quantity order. A location must be configured with multiple order types in ECM in order to change order types. 

ECM > Sites > Site > Areas > Location > location number
