Setting up the kitchen: printers, stations, sounds

▶Video coming soon

The three switches#

In Settings › Modules:

Adding a printer#

Settings › Printers › Add a printer:

1. Connection: Network (IP address and port, usually 9100; printed by the print agent), USB (plugged into this till; Chrome or Edge) or Bluetooth (small 58 mm printer; Chrome on Android). USB and Bluetooth printers are paired to this device only.
2. Name, for example "Hot kitchen".
3. Type: Kitchen (kitchen tickets) or Till (customer receipts).
4. Paper width: 80 mm or 58 mm.
5. Add the printer, then Test.

Routing products to a station#

The Routing by product card appears once a Kitchen-type printer exists. Tick products (category filter, search, Select all), choose a printer in the list (or All kitchen printers, or Remove assignment), Apply, then Save routing.

These assignments determine both which ticket goes where and which station sees what on the kitchen screen.

Useful print settings#

In Printers:

• Automatic kitchen send: prints items added to an order already sent (on).
• Kitchen reprint button: the chef's-hat button in order follow-up (on).

Covers (which print on the ticket) are set in Register, "Hall" card.

Sounds and notifications#

• Notification sounds (General): a Kitchen row (sound when orders arrive) and a row for the floor or till (sound when an order is ready): Chime, Beep, Alert or an imported sound, with Test.
• Push notifications: on by default. Each device must accept the notification once ("Enable" banner).

Quick notes#

Settings › Register, Quick notes card: up to 10 frequent notes ("No sauce", "Well done"…), 30 characters at most. At the till and in the waiter app, they show as buttons when you add a note to an item; free typing remains possible. The note appears on the kitchen screen and the ticket.

Kitchen accounts#

Create a team member with the Kitchen role and a PIN code in Team (see signing in). They are tied to a point of sale.
