      Hi

      I am using this plugin in a normal restaurant. is it possible to change 1 thing in the order history file?

      The problem is in a normal restaurant people don’t order everything at once – first their drinks, then their food, then dessert etc. So there are 3 orders coming through from the same table. When they ask for the bill – we have to print out all 3 orders and re-type it in another program to give them one bill. Is it possible for the order history file to have a function to combine all orders for a table (Which is setup in order form settings), and when the printout is done for the table another button to clear the table for the next sitting?

      Thanks

      Herman

        Hmm,
        the idea of the plugin isn’t really for usage as an internal ordering system so to speak but to allow customers to order things over the/your website for delivery or self-pickup, in which case everything WOULD be ordered at once (and just one bill would need to be printed).
        Nor is the scope of it to be a table reservation system or some such .

        Bearing that in mind, I don’t think there will ever be a function that “clears the table” for the next sitting. After all, the plugin does not know anything about your tables, regardless of whether or not you just renamed a field.

        However, one could think about a way to either combine various orders into one, or being able to add more items to an already existing order, either one will open another big can of worms though.
        I will add this to my list of ideas, but cannot give you any ETA as to when or even if this will ever be available/implemented.

        All I can say though it’s most definitely not going to happen in the next few months as I do not plan to add any additional functionality of that magnitude to wppizza v2.x
        Perhaps in v3+ (which I am working on at the moment). But that’s months away yet
