LINGA — Feature Request Forum

Display Stock on Hand Balance on Item Button
I love the 86 list function... but the system should also allow the display of SOH balance on the item button if its not displaying the 86 list value
Ideally it should be an option to display SOH Balance on the item button if the item is not on the 86 list
we use the 86 list for items we make (often different quantities each day).. we need SOH balance to display for retail items that we buy in and are stored.

negative modifiers
Like many other product - Linga needs to allow negative Modifiers.
Its not difficult to do and should only need a change to the DB to allow negative values. As it only adds a modifier line to the order it should not affect the tax calculation
Having reviewed some 50 systems I can honestly say its in most other system and is urgently needed in Linga. Without this it creates a nightmare for us to use the system.
Linga is a great product but could be so much more by allowing negative modifiers

Kitchen Printers: Printer configuration needs Node/Role Restriction the same way it has "Enable Service Type Restriction"
The condition:
I have a bar that has TWO service bar printers.
I want COCKTAIL WAITRESS items to PRINT AT SERVICE BAR PRINTER 1.
I want SERVERS items to PRINT AT SERVICE BAR PRINTER 2.
Instead of having to create a RE-ROUTE MAPPING in LingaROS. It would be much more simple just to:
RESTRICT SERVICE BAR PRINTER 1 from printing SERVERS items.
RESTRICT SERVICE BAR PRINTER 2 from printing COCKTAILWAITRESS items.
This feature would make LingaROS have a much cleaner and simpler configuration process.

Kitchen Printers: LingaROS should implement the concept of PRINTER GROUPS
I would like to be able to implement in a more simple and efficient way the following:
I have a two-story business with a bar on each floor.
I have one or more bartenders.
I have multiple servers (waitstaff).
I have limited tablet terminals. Therefore the tablets are used by the staff as long as they are charged and available to the staff. There is no uniquely assigned tablet to the staff.
When LIQUOR ITEMS are ordered by BARTENDERS(role) those items are NOT to print anywhere.
When UPSTAIR SERVERS(role) order LIQUOR ITEMS those items are to print to the UPSTAIR BAR printer.
When DOWNSTAIR SERVERS(role) order LIQUOR ITEMS those items are to print to the DOWNSTAIR BAR printer.
In LingaROS I only have the option to REROUTE PRINTERS based on NODE and ROLE.
In some other software solutions I would be able to do this:
Item -- > Kitchen Group
Patron anejo -- > Liquor
Staff --> Role --> Prep Group
jhon --> Bartender --> Bar
Jane --> Server --> Upstair SERVER
Mary --> Server --> Downstair SERVER
Kitchen Group "Mapping"
Kitchen Group - Prep Group - Printer
Liquor ----> Bar ---> No Print
Liquor ----> Upstair SERVER ---> UPSTAIR BAR PRINTER
Liquor ----> Downstairs SERVER ---> DOWNSTAIR BAR PRINTER
LingaROS would gain extreme PRINTER CONFIGURATION flexibility getting to accomplish almost any kitchen printer configuration a customer might imagine.

Discounts Add available time option just like it is available in categories subcategories and items
The condition is: A DISCOUNT needs to AUTO-APPLY ONLY at one specific time or multiple times in the day.
Currently, the DISCOUNT can be set up to be available and auto-apply on a day of the week and then be restricted to work only in one time period in the day.
This option does not work if I have a special discount that I need to apply ONLY every Monday from 01:00 PM to 03:00 PM and then from 07:00 PM to 09:00 PM.
The need for a unique scheduled discount is also prevalent with our customers.

Edit Sent Items !
I know this is previously unheard of, but I'm hearing it more and more.
Some people (apparently mostly in counter service operations) want to be able to change modifiers on items that were already sent to kitchen. Doing this without voiding an item and ringing it up again.
They insist that their "previous system could do this". I am thinking it could be a toggle you can turn on to allow sent/already ordered items to be edited.
Apparently this comes up a lot with owner-operators that need to make adjustments to orders without sending the items to the kitchen again.

Enable Tipline,Signature and Suggested Tip on Credit Card Payment only
Hopefully we have a feature on the front end recept to enable Tipline,Signature and Suggested Tip on Credit Card payments only and not on cash payment

Future Order in Order Type drop down
Add the ability to change Order Type from QSR to Future Order and select a future date and time.
Currently, users can change from QSR to To Go, For Here, Bar Tab, Phone To Go. But I would like an option to select Future Order and be able to select another date and time.
See attached photo.

Ability to assign a fixed cost to a modifier like we can on the products/items
Customer would like the ability to assign a fix cost to a modifier like we can with products/items. Of course we would want this to roll into reporting and COGS.
