We just finished a unique installation at a Pizza Restaurant in Ohio. As most of you know, pizza databases are a bear, and this installation was no exception. In fact, as they charge differently for each of their toppings based on size and type of pizza (a total of 10) and by half or full topping (so each topping is in the database 20 times) this was likely more complex than normal.
To further complicate things, they wanted the weights of each topping to be displayed on the kitchen video system. This way, when a pie comes in, the employees at the pizza prep station do not need to lookup how much cheese to put on, how much mushrooms, etc... it says it right on the screen and saves them a ton of time.
Because onePOS can automatically ring in all of the toppings for a supreme, meat lovers, veggie, etc we were able to completely remove the weight charts from their pizza prep areas. The caveat to all of this was that the specialty pizzas all have different weights for toppings (less) than a normal pizza of the same size, and you can mix and match specialty pizzas, so each topping had to be put in the system yet another 20 times! Although a lot of work, the speed of the pizza line, especially for new employees, made it worth while.
FYI - There are new "mirror" features in 2.5.90+ that dramatically reduce the time it takes to copy a Screen Group from one screen to another, or add all new items to a new Screen Group.
