tastyigniter now support dine In order by scanning QR Code

hakimjamali

Hi ALL,

Hope all doing good.
We have customised tastyigniter to support Dine In order.
Just scan the QR code placed on the table, Your menu appears, and place your Order. BINGO!!!

The order placed is integrated to our POS system, which informs the kitchen and cashier that an order is placed from which table. Its amazing. Please contact us for the demo. If you like it, we will put it up as an extension on github as well.
Thanks.

Wow this is amazing. How and when can we find this feature asap? Would really help me.

hakimjamali

siddhant you can reach me on skype hakimalif. I can show you the demo and then need to plan on how we can release this feature as an extension

This all sounds excellent, except for the method of engagement, why the mystery and private demos, etc?

How did i miss this 🤔.

@hakimjamali dine in support is great and its really nice to see how people are improving/extending TI however same questions as @eko, why the private demos? and seen you plan putting extension on github it will be better to share a link to the Github repo or better release it to the marketplace like others have done.

We definitely love to see the community build great stuff for TastyIgniter, bu

hakimjamali

sure..
Will release the complete version on github and update you all.

Thanks.

Scan this qr code and you can check

We are updating the code as plugin. Currently we have modified the core, so you need to setup the complete code.

@hakimjamali Great work I like it a lot waiting for the code 😉 Keep us updated from time to time or publish the whole code base so who wants can extract the features.

@breaksecurity the tables extension i put ‘out there’ plus a QR code gets you 90% of the way to this. The last 10% is modifying the theme to say “Dine-in” when the session variable is there, and showing the table number. We’ve used this with restaurants we work with.

ryanmitchell I am trying to setup xampp in a convenient way to edit and do the pull request at the moment. I already saved your extension for later 😉 Thanks

This would be good, but as a restaurant operator who has been using online ordering for dine-in for 9mos now, I would be hesitant to deploy a system that relies 100% on customers scanning a QR code. It would be much better to allow the option of selecting the table number from a drop-down box. There will be a subset of customers who will have a very hard time scanning the code with their device and they will get frustrated, hassle the staff (who need to maintain distance due to COVID) and end up having a bad experience and posting about it on Yelp or google. My system first asks users to select “Pick-up” or “Here” and if they choose Here, a dropdown appears and they must choose a table number to proceed. It’s really fool proof. I do have QR codes as a short cut for entering the URL for our website on each table, but I’ve noticed that lots of people have trouble with that - it’s not obvious to them how to go to a website by taking a picture of a code.
BTW, I am currently using a wordpress based system (with all the db headaches that go with that) - I would really love to deploy TastyIgniter, but need to have Dine-In. (And wordpress is much easier for me to develop in vs Laravel which has a very steep learning curve).

jeromio you can have a start with tables ext made by @ryanmitchell that easily offer a starting point for the dine in feature
