Open food report in Aloha

[workinghardpdx]

Hello, I hope you can help me. I am trying to view the typed messages used in the ringing of 'Open Food' Like a list of everything that was rang, does that make sense, my PMIX shows 564 sold items of open food for the month and would love to generate a list of what that all is.

Thanks

You could try running an audit report on ordered items/typed messages and then filter by employee but I believe those are only going to show modifier type ins.

Run a product mix and select show seperate prices. it will include the description in the report.

USofAScott,

I appreciate the feed back, however all that report is seperating is the prices and still just shows open food. But I feel like I'm closer...

As I know, the message is just for printout purposes as info for the chef or bar, it is not tracked anywhere.

For control purposes you should absolutely limit your open food or open bev usage. What we did some years ago, is to create a bunch of modifiers that could be linked to a recipe (with extra cheese, without rice etc.) and to teach the waiters how to use them.

In case they really "wanted" to use the open food item, they had to declare what they sold on an extra form, eg. barman sells a special cocktail with 2cl of rum, 2cl orangejuice, 4cl milk etc.

That also reduces laziness - why search for the item, I can ring up the open food ... bur of course has to be kept in control.

Kind regards
Mirko
