Feature Requests - Customer Facing Receipt Names & Item Availability Times

[TheTable]

1) Separate customer-facing receipt names from POS and kitchen names.

Please add the ability to use different names for the same menu item in:

• The POS
• Kitchen displays and/or kitchen tickets
• Customer-facing receipts

For example, our POS item is named “Child Waffle (Saturday Only)”. The “Saturday Only” text is an internal note for our team, but we do not want it printed on the customer’s receipt. Ideally, we could keep the operational name in the POS and kitchen while displaying only “Child Waffle” on the receipt.

I understand that menu availability schedules exist, but they do not work for our menu structure because we need to limit availability for an individual item within a menu rather than for the entire menu.

2) Add item-level availability schedules for specific days and times.

Extend availability scheduling so individual menu items can have their own days and times of availability. For example, an item within our Little’s menu could be configured to appear only on Saturdays or during a specific service period.

This would reduce internal operational notes appearing on guest receipts while preserving the information your team needs.

@TheTable  if you go into “Menu Manager” and click the icon on the top right of it,  you can choose which columns you’d like to see, and two of those options are “Kithen Name” & “POS Name”.  Toggle those columns on and you can easily change what you want those names to say for the receipt, pos name, and kitchen name individually.  I’m attaching a photo fore reference.  Hope this helps some!

I have a similar issue in which having different name fields (i.e. POS Name, Kiosk Name, Online Ordering Name, Internal (hidden) Name) would be very helpful. Plugging in my recent post that explains the issue in full detail:
