Believe it or not, 'Customizable Product' is now the buzzword among the foodies. A customizable food dish takes the whole eating experience closest to perfection as it is prepared based on the customer's finest preferences. It is like ordering food the way you want it to be. 

How cool is that? A custom dish is any food dish on the menu with options related to the size of the portion, taste preferences, multiple toppings to be added, etc. Users or customers must select the options before confirming the final order.

It is an incredible option for business owners as doing this will help you increase the order value, even on a single dish.
