Table number not being shown on printed Bill slip or Kitchen slip

I cant seem to show the Table number {ENTITY NAME} on the slips/tickets.

On both the printed slips for kitchen and bill there is no table number.

What am I missing? I copied ticket template text from V2, could this be a factor?


it should be {ENTITY NAME:Tables}

Nevermind I was wrong yours is right. Can you show your Entity Type screen and Entities?

Thank you Kendash,

I also have a problem were I cant transfer tables from one entity screen to the next.

I dont know if all this is related

Can you click on the Windmill Tables Entity Type and show how it is setup? Same thing with Zucchini Tables we would need to see how you setup the naming for it. Show the Entity Type after you open those please?

Yes, it is all related. It is because you have 2 Entity Types for Tables (Zucchini Tables and Windmill Tables are 2 different Types of Entity). You cannot transfer Tickets between Entities of different types.

You should set up all your tables as a single Entity Type. Then you will be able to transfer Tickets from one table to another.

You can still have separate Entity screens if you wish, to separate the tables.

Yes what @QMcKay has said is true but it still does not explain the ticket not printing correctly. I have a feeling its because of the Entity Name

Example of what he was saying:

Screenshots incoming…

Now you can change tables to the other entity screen if need be.

Yes, it probably isn’t printing because of the Entity Name.


LOL so it seems I was actually right in beginning when i said it should be {ENTITY NAME:Tables} instead of {ENTITY NAME:Table}

By default it is setup as Table but you seem to have changed it or maybe v4 changed it to Tables. Entity Name is what dictates this.

Legends! the both of you, all works now…when I go into the new windmill tables it does not show the menu. where do i change that?

Can you explain? What do you mean by does not show the menu?

in the entity screen in Windmill when i click on a table number it does not create a new ticket as normally, but instead has a black screen

For general settings of Entity Screens did you select correct Ticket Type?

Click on Entity List and is Tables selected as Entity Type? If so go to Tickets > Ticket Types click on Tickets and then click on Entity Type List and make sure Tables is listed and remove the old ones.

all is checked and still nothing

Restart SambaPOS or at the very least, logout and login to reset cache.

You two have made my night, I’m actually excited about Samba again.

May I please may I ask your opinion on the BAR ORDER READY button that does nothing on my Bar display screen. Been struggling for weeks and trolling the forum has helped little. I followed the Tutorial of Emre on

The button is created but does not clear the screen, I followed the tutorial to the tee and double check everything, no spelling mistake.
