Send to kitchen by seat

Jason G 2 years ago in POS / RESTAURANT POS updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 0

When ringing in items by seat initially, without pressing BarTab it will only send the current seat selected to the kitchen.  It would be nice to have an optional pop up to remind the server that they did not send the rest of the seats to the kitchen.  That or when pressing finish, having an option to auto send the rest of the seats would be beneficial.

it would really help when serving customers if the price for each Size was displayed on the size button

Display item message

steve 2 years ago in POS updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 0

When selecting an Item there can be messages/changes that the server needs to know about the product

often we have to put a note on a product to advise the server that we are out of Blueberries and instead we will be using Strawberries... or in the case of Soup we have to advise the servers that this item takes longer to prepare..

Ideally we need the ability to store a message against each item and display it in a popup when the item is selected

Display Item Description when taking orders

steve 2 years ago in BACKOFFICE / RESTAURANT BACKOFFICE updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 1

In NZ its law that we (servers) must be able to advise the customer of the ingredients and any allergens.

As Linga does not have an Allergen field/function we could use the Item Description field.

But a server needs to be able to right click an item and select Display Description as part of the Options functions... 

You already have the item Desciption field just need 10 lines of code to display this field in popup if called

Display Stock on Hand Balance on Item Button

steve 2 years ago in POS / RESTAURANT POS updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 0

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

steve 2 years ago in BACKOFFICE / RESTAURANT BACKOFFICE updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 3

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"

andy 2 years ago in ADD-ONS / KITCHEN DISPLAY SYSTEM updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 0

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

andy 2 years ago in ADD-ONS / KITCHEN DISPLAY SYSTEM updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 0

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

andy 2 years ago in BACKOFFICE updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 1

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 !

Danny E 2 years ago in POS / RESTAURANT POS updated by Product Engineering 11 months ago 0

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.
