Feature Request: Restrict Items by Service Type
Summary:
Allow items on the POS system to be restricted not only by time and day, but also by service type (e.g., Dine-In, Takeout, Delivery).
Use Case:
A merchant has a "Wing Wednesday" special that is already configured to be available only on Wednesdays. However, they want to further restrict the item to specific service types—namely, Dine-In, Table Service, and Bar Tab. The item should not be available for QSR, To-Go or Delivery orders.
Proposed Functionality:
-
Add a configuration option at the item level to enable or disable availability by service type.
-
Allow merchants to select one or more service types where the item is eligible.
-
The system should enforce this restriction at the time of order creation, ensuring the item cannot be added if the current order’s service type is not allowed.
Benefits:
-
Greater control over promotional item availability.
-
Prevents misuse or accidental application of specials to unintended order types.
-
Supports complex pricing or availability strategies based on business operations.
Example Scenario:
-
Item: Wing Wednesday Special
-
Availability: Wednesdays only
-
Allowed Service Types: For Here, Table Service, Bar Tab
-
Result: The item will not appear or be allowed on Takeout or Delivery orders, even on Wednesdays.
