That might give an idea

Different Product Names for Kitchen then Customer reciept

I need the kitchen ticket to print a different product name then what the customer receipt shows. For example I want customer receipt to show Cheeseburger but the kitchen receipt to show CB. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Peter, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I’ll have a look at it now.

[Peter_Cijsouw]

This is the code I use for the display, will post some more later.

Table - {ENTITY NAME:Table}]
{ENTITY NAME:Customer}
-
{ORDERS}
-
[ORDERS]

{QUANTITY} x {NAME}|’{TICKET STATE MINUTES:Status} MIN

{ORDER TAGS}

[ORDERS:Void]
J00:2- {QUANTITY} {NAME}|Void
{ORDER TAGS}

[ORDERS STATE=SUBMMITED]
[ORDER TAGS]
– Format for order tags
* {ORDER TAG NAME}

I have created 4 buttons called Donnes but you could use 1 only one. Hope this help.

If I go to the POS screen and choose Beef Tenderloin , click to select the option.

Hi Peter, you are a legend!

I’m going to take the weekend to have a play with this. Fingers crossed I get my head around it.

[Peter_Cijsouw]

Don’t forget the mappings.

[melroyg]

Hi emre, this is exactly what I needed for the buttons. Thank you

I still can’t believe this software is free of charge.

I owe you a few drinks if you ever come to Esperance Australia.

@melroyg thank you very much. SambaPOS is a community project and a lot of amazing people contributed as much as I to bring SambaPOS to that level. I mean that will make a lot of free drinks lol.

Hi,I am newbie here. Can’t find 4.1.17 in Sambapos download area. Oldest is V 4.1.25. Anyone know where I can get it to test Kitchen Database. Thanks.

[Jesse]

@mamaspot Why would you want to use such an old version?

PS. nevermind its so you can try his prebuilt database? Just check the migrate on restore option and you should be fine with 4.1.82

PS2. You should probably try building a basic setup based on this tutorial. By following it and building your own rules you will get a better grasp of how it works and can support/identify issues quicker.

Setup Courses - different serving areas on same order.. with entity screens

In this tutorial I’ll show you how to prepare a Kitchen & Bar display to notify staff for new orders. We’ll start by creating action to update orders’ display state. [image] We want to update beverage orders display state as Bar. We’ll create Order Added to Ticket rule to handle this. [image] Hint: Create a default mapping for all rules that we’ll create on this tutorial. For simplicity I’ll skip that step for remaining rules. [image] So when we add an order to ticket it’s displ…

Hi Peter, I finally have some time to rebuild my Samba Menus. I’m trying to have a product name Such and Beef Burger and then on the kitchen display have each ingredient listed to build the burger (15g sauce, 20g lettuce etc.). My question is, where do I list all the ingredients, so that the ingredients are displayed on the kitchen display automatically when the cashier presses the button.

[Peter_Cijsouw]

There are more options to create this.
1st option is to use recipe as in the example,
2nd option is to use Product Tag or Ticket Note
Sure there will be more options, just need to know of you like to account also inventory or not.

Proper Inventory & Recipe Method

Hello everyone. We are setting up a new bakery. I would like some feedback on the setting up the inventory costs and recipe. We bake cakes in the kitchen and sell them in slices. How would I go about in creating the recepies. Should I input the recipe per slice or the recipe for the whole cake. If I input the recipe per cake, how would I use it in the product portion. In the product portion there is an option called multiplier, how does that work? I am facing the same problem with buns as we…

Ticket Note or Kitchen Note for Individual Products

Hi, is it possible to add Ticket Note or Kitchen Note for Individual Products ? Suppose Different customer has different likes on dishes. so some customers need notes which is not in order tags. We have got ticket note option but we can’t add notes for individual items. Many Thanks Sid

[Peter_Cijsouw]

Yes this is possible in V5, not sure in V4.
Just search in the forum on Ticket notes

[melroyg]

Hi Peter, is it possible to create recipes without entering inventory? I don’t want to track Inventory usage just yet, only to display the recipes on the kitchen display to help staff.

Thank you

[Jesse]

Recipes are not there to aide staff it’s specifically for inventory tracking. What your asking needs to be a different configuration. I’ve never seen a restaurant display the recipe on a kitchen screen. Most restaurants train their cooks or put pictures with recipes in an area near the cook area. Putting it on kitchen screen is counter productive. The reason for a screen is to get orders out fast as they come in, not to teach cooks how to cook.

But if you want to display a recipe then configure order tags with ingredients and measurements then auto select those tags to the menu item.

[melroyg]

Hi @Jesse, thank you for the info.

In fast food, we have 14 to 20 year olds, not cooks. This is the reason we list each product which goes into the pack. Hope this makes sense.

Can I please trouble you for some screen shots on how to do what you’ve recommended above?

Thank you
