Micros 3700 - Want to add message to order chit that adds 30 minutes to time

[Carlos547]

basically I want to add a line on the bottom of the kitchen order chit for Take Out orders that reads the time of the transaction and then automatically adds 30 minutes and then prints it on the order chit. That way the kitchen could juggle in house orders as a priority and take out as needed. Ultimately I hope to be able to program 3 keys (+30 minutes, +45 minutes, +60 minutes) that would do the calculation automatically based on how jammed up it is.


item 1
item 2
item 3

=================
pickup at xx:xx
=================

Can someone help me with the table that I would use to read the current order time? I figure I could write a SIM that would do the trick?
Thanks!

hi carlos,
strictly shooting off the hip here without any research/proof of concepts, but what i think you need to do is:
1. Enable check trailer to print on order devices
2. Add @@SomethingICanCatch on one of the trailer lines
3. catch SomethingICanCatch event in Trainler Event
4. Figure out that it is caught by an order printer vs check printer and if it is an order printer
5. Inject currentTime + 30mins in to the trailer

if you'd like this approach, I can proto-type it for you on your lab/test/dev system, as i have done similar projects in the past.

Best of luck!

You can do as codex suggested if it's a order device printout, but if it's a chit generated by a kds bump then you can't.

Do you want some custom SIM scripts developed. Contact me via my website
