What Are You Doing Right Now

Yesterday was just rough all the way around. We had a server with BTRFS giving us issues here. Finally got it fixed by applying OS updates (we finally got it to run long enough to do that)... All seems well this morning though. Just adding caffeine at a moderate pace and waiting to see what kind of excrement hits the rotating blades today.

Including Kitchen printers- Chit printers that food is printed on so the cooks know what to make. - they are impact, ribbon printers if that makes any sense.

They're almost all thermal printers now, aren't they?

Well - For kitchen the thermals have proven to be a little more difficult to read.. the paper becomes hot from the grills, fryer, etc.
So they're still using Impacts for now.

The big thing now is Kitchen video screens, and software.
Get rid of the printers all together.

But for a Mom and pop Restaurant with maybe a total of 200-700 customers a week, It's not financially beneficial to them to get Kitchen Video,

@WrCombs I know its not your fault, but wouldnt some kind of chat service with a folder called "recipes" or something work out much better instead of hardware and printing to it?

Or even use your ticket system and make a custom dashboard to chef's can just see recipes to make?

It's for peoples orders, the waiter/waitresses enter your food order on a computer, and it prints in the kitchen for the cooks to make. Not really for recipes.

jmoore

@bnrstnr Ok I get that. Wouldnt using something like a real time chat or ticketing work better to let chef's see the orders that come in? Would save tons of money.
