LINK YOUR PRINTERS TO YOUR KDS

KDS is a Kitchen Screen replacing Printers, but the concept is the same,

for example: If you have 3 Printers:

  • Cafe ( where Coffees orders are received )

  • Bar ( where Drinks orders are received )

  • Kitchen ( where Food orders are received )

When you will log in, you will be prompted to select ' Printer Profiles '

If you tick:

  • Cafe

  • Kitchen

All your Food & Coffee Orders will now display on the screen, while the Drinks Orders will print at the Bar ( or show on their Display Screen )

  1. To Change your Printer Profiles => Go to Settings by clicking on the ' Settings Icon ' :

2. Click on a Printer Profile to:

- Remove it (no βœ… )

or

- Add it: βœ…

( ex: Cafe no longer has the green tick, only our Kitchen Orders are now showing )


LOG OUT of KDS

  1. On the top left corner of your KDS => Click on the ' Lock Icon ' πŸ”’ :

2. You will be redirected to the Login Screen:
