Text Rules

Text rules are used to provide context to specific words for product items or modifiers that are used during the order process. There are two rules to be able to either change the text colour or highlight text (or a combination of the two) - having a change in colour can help particular items stand out so that operator take note of that item for example when there might be an allergy warning or a particular dish needs to be well cooked etc.
