I just tested V3 of Sambapos, and I have a few questions/feature requests:
* I could not find the option in the printer template for grouping items (for item tags). Assuming this is possible like in V2, is it possible to sort these groups? It is very important for our kitchen to influence the appearing order on the kitchen ticket like:
Starters
1 x soup
2 x salad
Main course
etc.etc.
Starter must always come first, then maincourse etc.
* Is it in V3 possible to autoprint notes on the bar/kitchen printers? These messages are very important to us. When a customer have extra wishes (like a red cherry on the desert, or a coffee in a tea glass etc.etc.) it must be easy to communicate these wishes to kitchen or bar. Otherwise our waiters have to walk to the bar/kitchen to explain.
In the most ideal situation there would be a button for every printer. When the button is pressed, a pop up appears with a text field and a send button.
* would it possible to add the change price button to the permission list? Currently only available for admin user.

A bit more info on my second point (about the notes). Sambapos have several options to add notes to a ticket, or to a product. Still I got my staff members complaining about it. I did test a lot on my pc, and everything work perfectly and quick.
The problem on our POS is that it is a touch screen, and therefore there are some extra handling involved. For example to add a comment to a product you have to:
* touch the product
* touch "extra options"
* touch the text field
* search for the windows touch keyboard icon, or press the Sambapos keyboard button left down.
* type the comment
* press the close button
Perhaps a fixed text field (pop up) in the main screen of Sambapos would help to reduce the steps?
Please ignore the comment on autoprint notes in my post above. I am not able to edit it.
Hello rvandam. There is no "Extra Options" on V3. There is "Order Tags" instead. It is useful for tagging Order Lines and like v2 Ticket Tags it has "Free Tagging" option. We use free tagging as v2 "Extra Options". So when you enable "free tagging" as soon as you click on a product you'll have extra options group on top of modifier list. This reduces your case by few steps.
Thank you Emre.
Great! Seems that V3 has lots of hidden treasures.
I will keep on testing!
