Kitchen Label issues

Hardy Singh 4 years ago in Printers 0

Hello, I was wondering if there were any other options for templates or the customization of templates for kitchen labels?
The reason for this is that having the modifiers being only separated by commas can be a little confusing for some orders particularly when our baristas have to look at a label quickly and differentiate between items like mango flavor and mango fruit. In quick service

  1. Modifier text continues to next line. Our modifiers are grouped into mostly 3 different categories: Flavors, Fruits and Add-ons (Bursters, Gels, Puddings and Others). Some items like strawberry and mango can have many versions of these so when they cut off on the label it can make it harder to read.
  2. There is wasted space in the header. We do not use the take out, to go, for here functions so this is unnecessary space on the labels. If we disable this the space isn't actually saved. A blank spot will just appear.

Possible Solutions

  1. Have a setting in the back office for the label printer that if ticked, modifiers will not carry over to the next line unless it is a complete word.
  2. I assume this is like that because of character limits with the Customer name. Perhaps this can be solved by adding character limits if that button is ticked. That way the Customer name can be moved to that space allowing an extra line to be used for modifiers.
    1. Additionally I think giving your users the ability to customize these labels would be greatly helpful. While I realize this could be difficult if our employees could see modifiers in a list type view it could solve a lot of the problems we are having right now. At the very least if we cannot customize, having more templates to choose from would be amazing. My handwriting is much bigger than the font options on the label so I think a template like this would work

Questions

  1. Will the Priority under Modifier groups affect the order of Modifiers on the kitchen labels? We would like to keep a consistent order for our modifiers. Will this solve that issue? For example, if I set the Flavor Groups with a priority of 1 and the sweetness level groups a priority of 2 then will the ordering carry over to the Labels as well?
