Please can samba 5 handle when an order have stayed too long change colour on the system, eg a waiter takes order, the colour of the table change to green, can I set it that when the order is not settled in 1hr it should change to red ?

Yes, it can be done with SambaPOS 5, but not automatically out-of-the-box. You’ll need to use rules, states, and possibly a small workaround.

you have to use State Display Format

go under Entity Screens and Tick Use State Display Format

then Go under States in the Display Format section add this

<bold>$1</bold><background {CALL:fn.getColor('{ENTITY STATE MINUTES:Status}')}><size 20><br/>{ENTITY STATE MINUTES BY NAME:Tables.$1:Status}</size></background>

then go under scripts and add this script

Name: Functions

Handler: fn

Script: function getColor(minutes){
if(minutes > 60)
return 'red';
if(minutes > 30)
return 'coral';
if(minutes > 15)
return 'orange';
return 'Green';
}
