Current Behavior

  • Item selection supports only first-letter keyboard filtering

  • No full-text search

  • No filtering by Item Type (Ingredient / Intermediate / Consumable)

  • Heavy mouse dependency

Observed Impact

  • Inventory lists exceeding 300–1000 items become impractical

  • High friction during recipe creation and stock entry

  • Increased selection errors

  • Poor experience for professional operators

Industry Benchmark (Toast, Lightspeed, Oracle MICROS, Square)

  • Full-text, real-time search (contains match)

  • Type/category filters within dropdowns

  • Keyboard-only selection workflow

  • Recently-used item memory

Requested Enhancements

  • True full-text search (not prefix-only)

  • Filter by Item Type

  • Keyboard navigation (↑ ↓ Enter)

  • Performance-optimized search for large datasets

This is a baseline expectation for modern POS inventory systems.

Hello Imam,

Thank you for outlining this request in such a clear and structured manner.


The current dropdown behavior supports first-letter keyboard navigation, and your feedback highlights how this approach can become limiting in workflows involving large item lists, such as recipe creation and stock entry. The points raised around efficiency, accuracy, and ease of use are noted.


Features like full-text search, type-based filtering, and improved keyboard navigation are valuable from a usability standpoint. We’ve captured this input for further review, considering requirements, usage patterns, consistency across the system, and performance.


Feedback like this helps guide ongoing assessments of where usability improvements could add meaningful value. If we make any changes in the future, they will be reflected in upcoming product updates.


Thank you for sharing thoughtful feedback—it helps us continually evaluate ways to improve operational workflows.
