Its a really cool future but i have one question. is it possible to mark the items as one combo or as one meal on the kitchen orders and maybe on the bill?
You can use order groups to group on ticket template. I group starter/main/dessert like this but could be used to group combos.
Print templates are very flexible.
Yes in fact I do that with mine. Take a look at my template it is HTML but you could see how I did it and adapt if you do not wish to use HTML. I love how HTML looks and my printer is fast.
