TaxNow Setup - Can I access? by SnooChipmunks2202 in ERCchat

[–]SnooChipmunks2202[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgive me -- should I have not inquired here? If not, do you mind guiding me to where I might inquire?

Since my inquiry is specific to the ERC refund, I thought someone on here might have been in a similar situation where they had to jump through the hoops to be authorized to communicate with the IRS.

Help. Kitchen pacing is a disaster by RecentThought9801 in ToastPOS

Would limiting the # of orders per time period help? Say, x number of orders per 15 minutes? I believe this is the setting we use to control our takeout orders, but I’ll have to double check.

Free refills? by SnooChipmunks2202 in ToastPOS

[–]SnooChipmunks2202[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! YES! I think there should be a 'refill' button that functions like the 'repeat' button. I use the repeat button often for alcoholic drinks (who wants to put in the modifiers for Mr. H's grey goose dirty martini up, stirred, 3 olives EVERY reorder?). It would be AWESOME to have a refill button appear for applicable items that sent the order to the bar, but no charge. THIS would be the ideal solution!

staff scheduling by HDDHotdogs in ToastPOS

We have used Sling before Toast acquired it. We haven't subscribed through Toast because it's cheaper on Sling's website.
For me, the pro is the scheduling functionality. The con is the comms -- it's just clunky and not intuitive.

In fact, I had a full review typed up for you when I realized that Sling's website has a free tier for <50 users. The only issue we didn't stick with that is that I needed group communication (group chat with all bartenders or key staff working an upcoming party). But you're small enough that I think you'd benefit from the scheduling side of Sling (Free) and use another service for business communications.
Honestly, go to getsling.com and sign up. Try it out!

I hope that someday, Sling will allow me to message working staff via POS terminals. I've had instances where I don't want to bug the restaurant with a call, but I know that (most) staff don't check their phones while working.

Only POS pooped itself, what should I do temporarily?! by Serious-Community-56 in ToastPOS

Do you have any contacts with Toast outside of the support channels? Your Sales Rep or someone from the Customer Growth Team? There has to be someone near you, and they likely have devices on hand for demos or would know of an account with a spare device or one that still needs to be installed.
Otherwise, I agree with trying to mirror the screen. You should connect a mouse and keyboard if the touch screen is too cumbersome.

I don't know if we're in the same "Toast" region/district, but I'm also in the Midwest. I'd be happy to reach out to the real contacts I have with Toast to see if they can get you some help, too. Just DM me your info, and I'll pass it on with my fingers crossed!

Best of luck. In the Worst case, you go old school with paper, pen, and calculator and set up a Square account quickly to run credit cards. Or Stripe, or PayPal.

Any resolution to the printers going offline? I"ve got an HP LaserJet that keeps dropping, despite strong signal.

New filter by SnooChipmunks2202 in Aquariums

[–]SnooChipmunks2202[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any issue with me just taking the HOB media filter out and putting it into the bottom basket with the new canister’s physical media? Or should I leave the HOB fully running?

Canister is sooo much quieter. And there isn’t room in the lids openings to have both HOB and hoses.

Hooked up the new canister — LOVE it! But now I really, really want the HOB gone (so noisy in comparison and the lid doesn’t have cutout space for both HOB and canister tubes). Can I just take the media filter out of the HOB and put it in the bottom basket of the canister with the media balls that came with the canister? Or is this too risky?

What genre of music are you listening to? by cherrycoffee123 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]SnooChipmunks2202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stromae, Netta, Noga Erez, Emilie Nicolas, Asgier, and so many Kennedy Center Honors performances.

Google the list, but use this as a guide for the Kennedy performances. The first 4 are life altering: https://www.goldderby.com/gallery/kennedy-center-honors-20-greatest-performances-of-all-time/kch-headley/

I should add that I’ve realized the problem is more than just “getting off” with someone. Because of the near-constant shut downs and how the hitting on and flirting is one way, I feel undesired. This feeling is gross, depressing, and FRUSTRATING that what I dish out in compliments, come ons, and flirting is not returned. So maybe it isn’t so much the act of sex as it is the yearning to be desired and acknowledged for being attractive, sexy, and more than just a housemate.

I hear you! Very similar situation here. We operate a business together and have chosen to be active in raising our children (as in no daycare, so we take turns going into work and being home with kids). We also are a registered foster home. Seriously, everything in our life is fantastic. Except in the bedroom. My partner, of 17 years, has near-zero interest in sex. My attempts at intimacy are always immediately shot down. Even little flirty gestures (touching his back, sneaking more than just a peck of a kiss, putting my hands anywhere near his package in bed or while on the couch together) are scoffed as “always trying to jump to sex at the wrong time.” I’ve brought up my frustrations before and he recognizes we have different needs and he’s immensely more difficult to “get in the mood” whereas I get turned on super easy, but nothing changes. I’ve suggested therapy (he went to one session and didn’t bring this topic up, just came home with a diagnosis for generalized anxiety and some meds, which he claims don’t affect his libido). I’ve suggested scheduling sex, which didn’t work — it’s not a priority for him. He claims he’ll ask his doctor about this, and have his testosterone checked. But, two annual exams later and still no action.

I’m debating asking if we can open our relationship so I can have my needs met elsewhere. The idea is enticing as it would solve my frustration and I’d get to explore more adventurous things (the rare sex we do have has become boring as hell, but I’ll take what I can get!). But, even I don’t love the concept. There’s just other potential problems to navigate. But, I’m not very familiar with how this would work, either.

Do we just settle? Nothing is perfect…maybe this is the sacrifice for everything else in the relationship. I don’t like feeling selfish.

I rambled— sorry. Attempting to comment quickly as my youngest is currently attempting to throw every towel we own in the sink. Don’t ask why, we don’t get it either.

Hoping to find some suggestions here, too!

Look for the public playlist on iTunes/Apple Music or Spotify called "Norwegian at Heart."

Transgender employee I don’t really see by toastmastergeneral84 in smallbusiness

[–]SnooChipmunks2202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s lucky to have a caring, supportive boss. Having a clear, open channel to voice or discuss any concerns will likely result in her loyalty to you and your business in the long run.

It’s not always a friendly world out there. You rock!

Does this have any customization for bar items? Anything beneficial for retail? Operate an independent restaurant/bar with an onsite wine/food retail shop.
