ADDING A DEPT TO OPEN ITEMS

As of right now if you want to add the name to an [OPEN ITEM] for the kitchen/bar you have to use the Open Item under the [OPTIONS] button but this doesn't record the item into a DEPARTMENT (Food/Beverage/Liquor etc...) Messy for reporting for bigger restaurants looking to track cost carefully.

If you create an item as an [OPEN PRICE]  you can add it to a Category with the correct Dept but you can not enter a name.  It will be a fixed name which means the server still has go to the kitchen/bar to tell them what it is.  This means more work for the server to have to go from their station to the Bar/Kitchen to tell them what it is.

What I would like to see which is available in other POS systems is the ability  to create a button called [OPEN FOOD], [OPEN APP], [OPEN DRINK] etc.. and have a toggle to Promt for Name and/or Price and this will trigger the keyboard to enter the Name of the item hit [OK] then have it will prompt for a price and hit [OK].  Have the ability to create the button under the Category or Sub-Category like any other Item and it will follow everything else like any other item (Tax, kitchen print and Dept)

CATEGORY [ENTREE]

[OPEN FOOD]

> enter name here (keyboard) < [OK]

> enter price here (number pad) < [OK] (zero price item not allowed)

this will trigger being sent to the kitchen printers pre-set as you would any item, taxes and record sales to the correct dept registered to the Category
