modifiers

Emre,

The modifier update works well - really well - Thank you.

Emre,

I have noticed that with the terminal app, the modifiers don't really work well, and can be unpredictable.

As far as a restaurant goes, I wouldn't use the terminal app. I would prefer to use an iPad due to speed and less training required. But for table service in a bar, I would use an iPod touch with the terminal app.

Yes. Quantity selection might not work fine because it won't display quantities. But fixing it easy.
However I don't think terminal app will work fine on iPod Touch. Terminal app specifically optimized for 240x320 resolution and pen input. Some visuals might remain too small for fingers on higher resolutions. I didn't tested it on iPod but whenever possible I'll test and investigate if something can be done for automatically fitting sizes for the screen.

Hello, everyone.
Got a question.  Let say a customer order a french fry.  There are three sizes that he/she can choose, small,medium,and large.  How do we go about setting it to modify the order.

Thanks!

Ons the subject of modifiers, how do you make a modifier mandatory?

thanks

[jenem]

We should mention here it is possible to auto activate modifier selection screen for an individual item by enabling "Auto Select" setting on "Edit Product Properties" screen. For example if you enable it for "coffee" when server selects coffee, modifier screen automatically appears and he'll be able to see options for coffee..

What John suggested is the best choice if you want to force servers to ask some questions to customer...

Hope this helps!!

Hi Edgar,

Thanks, Auto Select is enabled, but you can still close the modifier screen without selecting a modifier, I need a modifier selected before the modifier screen can be closed.

[jenem]

Sorry, I understand now !!

not sure if its possible.

What happens if the customer changes mind while on the modifier screen? (It does happen!!) You would still need to close screen.

You would need a cancel option

Then you can just select any modifier and then just cancel the item from the ticket.

Sorry, its been a while since I played around with Sambapos

[CafeCuppio]

no worries, thanks for trying to help

Hmm.. You can't make modifier selection mandatory..
But you can set a default modifier for a menu button.

Navigate to Menu List > [Your Menu] > Choose a Category > Click Edit Product Properties
You'll see a column named "Default Properties". If you enter a modifier name here (or multiple modifier names separated with comma) that modifier(s) will selected by default.

I hope that helps.

Thanks Emre, default modifier will not eliminate my problem, I will just have to be very firm with my cashiers entering the order to avoid the kitchen coming back asking if the streak must me well-done or the sunny side up
