Bubble tea
Boba tea POS system
In a boba shop the build is the product. Sugar level, ice level, tea base, milk, and two or three toppings. A single drink can carry more choices than an entire cafe menu, and the customer expects every one of them to arrive exactly as asked.
★Five modifier groups on one drink, priced and printed correctly.
A drink with five choices is five chances to get it wrong.
Registers that treat modifiers as an afterthought push the complexity onto the crew: a note field, a shout, a sticker. Every one of those is a remake at peak, and remakes at peak are the only thing that actually lengthens the queue.
How it works
Simple where it counts.
Every choice is a real option
Sugar, ice, base, milk and toppings are modifier groups on the item, not free text someone has to interpret.
The build prints as rung
The kitchen display and the ticket carry the full specification, in the same order every time.
Regulars order the same thing
Loyalty and order history mean a customer who always orders the same build is recognised for it.
What’s inside
Everything this covers.
Modifier combinatorics, handled
Modifier groups are scoped per item and priced per modifier, so an extra topping charges and a sugar level does not. The till total and the drink in the cup come from the same source.
- Multiple modifier groups per item
- Priced per modifier where it should be
- Same build on ticket, kitchen display and receipt
Order ahead for the queue you cannot serve
Your own ordering page takes the order before they arrive, commission free, on a storefront that is yours, with a QR code you can put on the counter.
- Commission-free ordering on your own storefront
- QR code straight to your menu
- Pickup that reflects your real capacity
The specification travels with the order
The point is not that the register can store a modifier. It is that the modifier reaches the person making the drink without being retyped, remembered, or shouted.

Questions, answered.
How many modifier groups can one drink have?
As many as the drink needs. Sugar, ice, base, milk and toppings can each be their own group on the item, with pricing applied only where you set it.
Can customers order ahead and skip the queue?
Yes, through your own PatronWorks storefront, with no commission on those orders.
Does the kitchen see the full build?
Yes. The kitchen display shows the same specification the register captured.
