Kitchen Printers: LingaROS should implement the concept of PRINTER GROUPS
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.
