Ability to quickly 86 a menu item or modifier from the POS

Ryan Nicley 2 years ago in POS updated 1 year ago 3

I understand how the current 86 List works along with the countdown QTY displayed on an item. It has its place and can be functional in some situations. However, it would be very nice to have the ability to quickly 86 an item from the POS.

For example, if we could simply long-press on a menu item button and get a pop-up menu that would allow a manager to 86 an item that recently ran out. They could also do the same thing to re-enable the item when it's back in stock.

This same option for modifiers would be very nice as well.

Currently, if an item could be 86'd at some point, it has to be set that way in the BOH first. Then it defaults to "0" QTY so the restaurant then has to enter a quantity into the POS so the item can be sold. Even if they put in a large number just to appease the system, it would show that number on the POS and it could be confusing and/or clutter up the screen.

I hope that makes sense.

This long-press submenu on an item would be a great place to access drink recipes as well :)

Heartland Restaurant does this and is a great feature, works on modifiers too

The 86 functionality really could use a redesign, 100%

Any thoughts on this? We really need a better way to 86 items and modifiers from the iPad.
