Need Help with flow of regular orders

Ok, so when we open we always sell regular orders for 2-5 customers which gets added to their account and then delivered, the manager knows which customers get this every day as well as there order. At the moment though putting through these 5 orders for each customer is time consuming, what I would effectively like is a sort of ask question popup where you can select the regular customers you want to put through the default orders through.

What sort of flow would you think work for this

You can add ticket id to entity custom field and using load order/clone it over and over again.

Or you can use GQL and create a ticket with specific orders with single button press…

I think kendash is in love with gql more than anything after his accomplishments haha. But good call :slight_smile:

My Issue with GQL is that it doesnt take into account any of my rules regarding loyalty points or prinitng or uploading to my webserver

It can but your probably right you should wait until we flesh it out more. GQL triggers rules now I can show with pmpos app. But yes we should wait still adding features.

what about when you swipe their card (or use their fob) it auto adds their drinks to the order via order added?

We dont have there Card, they just have auto orders every day and we deliver it to them. Theyve just said they want there order every day in the morning

Is it a set time? You could run a trigger?

Or create a product called ‘Jim’s order’ and on order added it adds their drinks via and order added action?

Create a seperate menu item category for regulars

I could easily do this, but I dont want Mangaers messing around in managment where they could simply press a button to map a regular product to an entity and then a menu dialog would ask what days they want to reorder this

Cant you create the buttons? if its the same order every day?

tbh… maybe this is just me… I think itll over complicate things. Maybe one day you have the order set and someone is ‘ill’ and you member of staff who inputs the order cant quite work out that they don’t HAVE to press their pre ordered button, or whatever you decide… and spend 10 minutes trying to work out how they are going to change it.

Good old fashioned 1 order at a time is always a good idea.

Maybe get creative and add a couple of fields in the entity like repeat order ticket number and make a flow maybe with a script on a trigger to loop through entities and check for entities with a value in this field and duplicate that ticket number.
