# Quantity and cooking notes

You reach this screen by tapping **Continue** on the [ingredients](https://docs.pizzagest.com/books/pizzagest-pda-icL/page/changing-the-ingredients) screen or, if the item has no ingredients, directly from its **Options** button.

**Quantity**: use the **−** and **+** buttons to set how many units the guest wants. You can also tap the number and type it.

**Cooking notes**: the instructions for the kitchen. The usual notes the restaurant has set up in PizzaGest for that category are listed (for example "Lightly cooked"); just tap one. If you do not need any, leave **None** selected.

**Other note**: if what the guest asks for is not on the list, tap here to type it.

Type the note (25 characters max.) and tap **Add note**. You go back to the previous screen, where the note now appears.

Finally, tap **Add item** to add it to the order.

*Example: the guest wants **2** BBQ pizzas like the one just prepared, **cut into 8 slices**. Tap **+** to set the quantity to 2, tap **Other note**, type "Cut into 8 slices" and tap **Add item**.*

> Cooking notes only appear for categories that are printed in the kitchen.
