Mandatory Modifiers
In Suites, the recipe items that are served with the parent/ordered item are called Mandatory Modifiers. These are not optional, they are for the kitchen production report.
For example, if a Chicken Wing Platter is purchased, the mandatory modifiers attached to the item would be blue cheese, celery, and carrots. For every Chicken Wing Platter sold the kitchen will need to produce blue cheese, celery and carrots as well.
