Kitchen Prep Labels

V5 Tutorial
1

I am making this topic as a tutorial for a project I’ve been interested in making for some time now. It is not done and am just starting to work on it.
The Goal:
I want to make a system for cooks to log in and print labels for food they prepped. The labels will print all the necessary info on them. Product Name, Who prepped it, Date and Time, and Use by Date.

To create this I will use the structure that are already in place within SambaPOS

Steps I plan on using:

  • Create a Department for the Kitchen
  • Create a User Role for Cooks
  • Create Cook Users
  • Create Prep Items in Products >> Product List
  • Make Menus that have the Prep Items for the cooks to select from
  • Print Template for the label

Things I would also like to incorporate
-a report that shows what is prepped

  • a method of creating a prep list (like the chef can create a list of stuff to do and cooks can pick them off and prep)

this is a great idea ans something I have been looking/asking for for a long time.

if you are looking to do prep lists it would be great if we could enter orders for future dates as we can have up to 3 months catering booked) and then the items needed would appear in the prep list.

We also have multiple clients that send orders to us each day for delivery the next day. The chefs have to create a matrix/list of products and who is having which product so the orders can be preped and packed.
