Menu popup for businesses

Short description: Adding menu popups for businesses, alike the ones in /help

Detailed description: For businesses that run with an RP menu, most of them have it posted over FaceBrowser and then when customers come in, they just repeat the same RP line to ensure people know what it says. I was looking over the various /help options and realised it was opening a popup webpage from the forums. There is also a similar system within the LSPD and LSFD where their badge can popup on your screen. If businesses were allowed to upload an image of their menu to display to people who come in to the building after executing the quick /pmenu command then they wouldn't have to spam the orders.

 

As this is something that is covered by the new note system, it might get repetitive to continue creating the same item. People don't exactly go to restaurants and leave with the menus so having it as an available command for people who come inside might be more useful. This could also be something that takes up x amount of components if implemented.

 

Commands to add: /pmenu

Items to add: N/A

 

How would your suggestion improve the server?: This is a very minor change and I don't think the change would make drastic changes to the server but it sure would make working a bar/business a whole lot easier when the traffic coming through the door is more demand than you can handle all at once. This enables people to have their own little role-play around what the business is actually offering towards people instead of people having to guess what they're asking for. This is specifically beneficial for businesses that are selling unique items as this is something they have to put across to the receiving party and can't just have them guess.

 

Within interiors, when there is a lot going on, the chat can be flooded. Within specific businesses that have these issues, there is usually a repeated role-play line being spammed to ensure that everyone who is coming in can also see what is being offered. This can really get in the way of role-play and I think that having something that they can use and is visible to only themselves will help cut down on the spam even just a little, making it beneficial.

+1 I think this can be done easily considering the new note system will have something similar with the images.

The new note system could be used to hand customers a physical copy of the menu, this is a quality of life update that would do no harm and boost the feel of going to one of these places. +1
