Order Level Kitchen Display

V5 Question
1

So I am opening up a discussion about an Order Level kitchen display. I am going to attempt to build it with the new Add Task action and a Task Type widget from an Entity Screen. As i progress I will document it here and feedback suggestions or questions are encouraged. Lots of people have requested this and I think it is possible.

PS: this is not a tutorial I am showing my process live how I go about designing things. Maybe this can inspire others.

2

Here is the action I will be using. I already created a Task Type called Kitchen Display from Settings > Task Types

3

First thing I want to test is how Order Added to Ticket works with Add Task action. So we will do some simple things with Order Added to Ticket rule and test it out then we will start building additional automation once we learn this.

I have created a basic custom Entity Screen and put my Task Type widget on it and set the correct Task type. We will come back to this later.

4

Lets try just some basics and see how it looks.

I made a basic ticket:

Well it looks like {NAME} and {QUANTITY} worked just fine but {ORDER TAG NAME} did not.

I have not added any automation to Task Type widget yet… you can select each order but I have not assigned any automation to it just yet. So lets try adding something.

I added an Order Ready Task Command.

Lets try automating something with that button.

WOOPS obviously we did something wrong or something is broken.

@emre I am going to stop here I am stumped. Can you look at that error?

I will continue experimenting with the looks of it and how to build the tasks for a kitchen display but for now the automation will wait until I can figure out that error.

9

Ok to try and get order tags with the order I am going to attempt a script to pull those and then display them as task content.

jordyn.png737×661 30.2 KB

I will try passing ORDER NO to the script and do some SQL and Parsing of that SQL to extract the Order Tags. I can define the way it outputs them with this script.

PS. It might take me a while to get the script right. My SQL skills are very poor. If anyone wishes to help please be my guest. Basically want to design a script that will grab the Order Tags and display them each on their own line.

EDIT: I learned you cant get {ORDER NO} from Order Added to Ticket event. So will need to figure out something else. Maybe pass it via Execute Automation Command.

EDIT2: At this point I am stumped I am going to take a break. I will revisit it tomorrow.

10

@emre can you read through this and let me know about the error? I really want this to work because 1. I plan to use it myself and 2. several people seem to be interested. My goal is to build out a basic working system, get it working good and then maybe suggest some design ideas to make it look better.

2 major hurdles right now. How to read and display Order Tags and that crash error for Task Command.

OK this is something I have to fix.

In fact I have plans to implement a custom task printer to crate tasks like we create print outs. Give me a couple days. I think I’ll be able to better explain that when I finish implementing it.

Ok now we are talking. I assume we can use printer templates with formatting like [ORDERS]. That will definitely simplify it.

PS: I have not been able to reproduce it… but I had 2 Task Type widgets both were named differently in Properties and both had different Task Types defined for settings, but for some reason they would randomly display tasks for the wrong Task Type.

13

Actually its doing it right now. I have Task Type widget for Twitter… Its defined correctly and I have a unique name for it… but its displaying my tasks for the Kitchen dsiplay. Screenshot incomingl…

The only way to get it to show my Twitter Task type widget correctly is to just completely delete the other Task Type and refresh cache.
