We'd love to have the ability to build combs in Square for restaurants. We see it working something like this..
1) assume a full inventor of items already in system (drinks, food, etc)
2) a new section in items called "combos" is added
3) create new combo, give it a name - ex "Breakfast Sandwich w/ Coffee"
4) when you "build" this combo, you pick items from your existing item library - ex, Breakfast Sandwich, fruit bowl, coffee.
5) show the calculated combo price (the sum of the items)
6) allow us to apply % or $ discount to combo (combos are always cheaper then the sum of the items)
7) save combo
In POS, when this combo is selected...
1) it automatically adds the respective items to the check under the combo name.
2) any "item conversations" remain in place b/c the combo button is essentially a quick way to add multiple items to check w/ one button press.
3) item printer routing remains in place
By doing it this way, we can keep a neater item library and we get proper tracking of items sold. ex - coffee sold, by combo or al-la-carte, would produce an accurate count.
Thoughts??
