Platform Mapping

Mapping modifiers

Two steps, in order: map the modifier group to the platform's group, then each modifier inside it. Why the group has to come first.

Last updated September 2, 2026


Products are one level; modifiers are two. A modifier group is the question a customer answers ("Add extra meats"), and its modifiers are the answers ("Prosciutto", "Coppa"). ezCater and Toast have the same two levels under their own names, so mapping them is also two steps, in a fixed order. Open Food → Platform mapping → Modifier mapping.

Step 1 — map the modifier group

  1. Expand the group's row. Its own chip shows whether the group is mapped.
  2. Click the pencil beside Step 1 · Map modifier group → ezCater modifier group.
  3. Pick the ezCater group that asks the same question and click Use this.

Step 2 — map each modifier inside it

Once the group is mapped, the pencils on the modifiers below it become active. Each opens a picker limited to the answers ezCater has inside the group you just mapped. Pick the matching one and click Use this; repeat for each row.

Why groups come first
A modifier's identity only means something inside its group. A brand can have three "Manchego"s — under Add, under the board selections, under extra meats — each a different platform choice at a different price. Mapping the group first is what lets the picker offer only the right three.

Seeded from ezCater

Some rows show Seeded from ezCater instead of Confirmed. Those groups and modifiers were created in Gorilla Dash automatically from the ezCater menus themselves — one group per ezCater group, one modifier per option seen at two or more locations — and mapped at the same time. They are the platform's own entries, so there is nothing for a person to double-check. Groups you created yourself that ezCater has no equivalent for stay Needs mapping, and that is correct: leave them.

DIFFERENT PRICES MEAN DIFFERENT GROUPS
If "Add extra meats" costs more on a large board than on a small one, they are two groups in Gorilla Dash and two on the platform. Map each to its own twin — mapping both to one platform group loses the price difference.
