Question about Order Tag prefixing

yea this seems really nice. and yes we should wait for others see what they suggest to make it best for everyone not a single person. i totally understand that point of view. for me anything that has this feature or something like this is fine.

i am also waiting what john thinks of this. his genius would probably have a good solution.

This whole half half pizza problem has been going on for 3 years now :smiley:

I do like the double tap, as it gives the best of both options.

And let’s face it, this situation does not have a simple solution at all.

I still think having 2 products (1 for each half) is a better solution from my perspective, but hey I don’t own a pizza shop so I only look at this from a practical view to achieve a clear and simple order.

My question is how do you select ‘no onion’ for the right half ? I think we should be using Order Tag groups for ingredients.

Yes I was thinking the same while saying “hard to manage”. Later I thought we can have Left No, Right No prefixes if it is a frequent case and also we can enable free tagging to handle extreme requests such as “Less onion on left side”.

I do not like the ultimate solution!
one thing is to be accustomed to the system, if you take a new employee,
for him it will be easier and will make fewer mistakes if you first choose the area code and then the product.
not to mention that in a crowded evening you have to do everything mechanically and not going to read what you write.
I like it better as it is currently.

I tell my:
you could do the prefixes that function as groups of modifier
and check the modifier that provides prefix.
the prefix in turn will have an 'indication on how to change the price.
more than 100%, without 0%, double 200%, and so on.
depending on how many times you press the modifier if you choose the area code and change the price according to the percentage of the price indicated dalo modifier.
example
margherita 3 €
more salami 1euro (100%)
without salami 0 EUR (0%)
double salami € 2 (200%)
little salami 0,5 € (50%)
and just my opinion …

in this way:

  • Simplifies the insertion of products and their prices
  • If they create fewer buttons and you will have more space when many modifiers
  • People used to v2 and v3 will not have many changes and it will be easier to pass

This is definitely a step in the right direction.
I think it’s time to play and see what people can come up with for their solutions.

you will have 3 chances,
create simple modifiers
groups of modifiers
or modifiers with prefix

emre.
I think it would be best if the user will be able to choose between the options suggested by you
So there will be three options
One option is what in the current version
And 2 other options suggested by you
I think both are very good.
and it is better to be possible for a user to choose a better option for him.

@spanky @JohnS, @pizzaeilat4 thank you very much for your suggestions. So I’ll release current state asap.

Thank you very much emre.
I really appreciate it

I’ve released 4.1.19. Let me know how it works on your case.

I have been putting Order Tag Prefixes to the test, and have found an issue.
You can not use Prefixes with Free Tagging.

Prefixing is already a shortcut to free tagging in the background :slight_smile:

Do you want to choose a prefix and type a freetag?

Yes, I was looking at booking in jobs, and using prefixes like

  • Repair
  • Quote
  • Service
    And then using free tagging to type a brief description.

I was also thinking of having a customisable separator between the prefix and order tag name, like
Repair - Water leak

PS - free tags appear above the prefix. Maybe the prefix should be on top ?

emre john s
what do you think about that?

Hi Emre/John,

I tried new Order Tags from v4.1.20 and they are brilliant.

Thank you for all the great work you do.
