really!!! i was ready.... buttons... colors... headers.... then i went to the POS screen.....
Anyway....
I'm not using Barcode reader, for wines in italy we are used to divide it by region, so it's easyer to find it. Actually i've somtehing like 160 reference between Red (68) White (79) Sparkling (10) Dessert (10). Noboby in my staff will be able to find out a wine (in a reasonable time) if i put 79 white wines in the same category.....
Even my restaurant menus is quite big....
I have two main menu in my restaurant, the first menu is the YAKINIKU (our speciality, a kind of japanese kitchen where guest grill themself the food on the table, we have smokeless tables imported directly from Japan) that is dived in four sub menu MEAT, FISH, VEGETABLES, SET MENU and this is not a problem. With four categories it's ok.
The problem is the second menu, the FUSION menu, where i have 9 different categories of dishes
TEMPURA
YAKI GOHAN - SAUTED RICE
UDON (Japanse pasta)
SOBA (Another kind of japanese pasta)
SOUP
VEGETABLES
TEPPANYAKI (Another kind of japanese kitchen)
SUSHI & SASHIMI
DESSERTS
With a total of 50 different dishes.
In addition to the restaurant menu i've the bar menu, where should need the following categories
RUM (12 references, with different services)
WHISKY (15 references)
SPIRITS (18 references)
BEER (30 references, with different sizes)
GRAPPA/AMARO (25 References)
WATER & SOFT DRINKS (15 References)
TEA (20 references, with different services)
SOFT DRINK (15 references)
So i need a lot of categories..... and sub categories.....
I can try to group some category.... but they are still a lot....
I don't know how i can do.... i will try to find a logical way to reduce category without having a lot of items in each category, but having a column count working for tags should be really great!!!
