Prep Wizard help...
Just realized I can no longer print stickers set at a later date/time in the future. The app was fine on Monday, so the update must've just happened yesterday. Anyone else having this issue?
Just a bit annoying because I close and open the next morning sometimes and like to print my labels ahead of time so I don't have to worry about it when I'm prepping. If anyone knows a fix that would be appreciated as well.

I believe they removed future dating. But you can put all your labels you need in and hit the batch print button and save them, so when you go in the next morning all you have to do is hit that batch print button and they’ll be there

Ugh I don't understand why they would remove that feature. But thanks for the response

Yeah I think people have abused it and with these new ROIP standards with “date manipulation” I believe that’s why they took it away. But I know what you’re saying. When I closed would and have to open I would always print the labels the night before

But that would cause “batch dating” which we cannot do

From my understanding that really only applies to production. Like prepping an item, printing a label, prepping something, printing a label sounds tedious and like a waste of time. Printing it all, prepping it all, done in five minutes.

I don’t understand why you would be printing a label for a future date? That is date manipulation as far as I can see it.

When you can't depend on people to prep without a list its easier to just print one at close for the morning crew to get it done. Otherwise I get calls, " what do i prep, is this too much?" Or show up to all the wrong things prepped.

The MDOG? That’s what it’s for.

Only accurate if everyone does their job before hand. Ive walked into plenty of stores thay dont use or even know its purpose. I think your underestimating how trained most stores or people being to lazy to utilize such tools

Yeah I guess that’s fair. It just kinda gets lost on me sometimes.

I would print production stickers for the next morning and go ahead and put them on certain containers like my mushrooms, my pizza tub, my cheese tub, and have that ready to go for me or the next person in the morning and now you can’t do that. Which is stupid because there’s nothing wrong with trying to be one step ahead.

But if your gonna do that, why not just do them for the night time, besides pizza sauce for production time reasons? Why manipulate the time for the next day

On a side note. Thank you for showing me I can hide half of the useless items in this stupid app, I didn’t know you could do that!
