KDS POS Commands

The following POS commands are available for use with the KDS:

Command	Parameter	Description	Where Used
BOMMENTYPE	MULTSEL - Allows multi selection of Menu Types. If you select more than one menu type, one KOT is created per menu type if possible. ALL - Sends lines with or without menu types. The lines end up in one KOT if possible. If printed, they are organized by menu type. Menu Type - Code on POS If the command is used with a menu type Parameter (Code on POS), the pop-up window does not come up. The kitchen printing process prints the order lines with the menu type selected as Parameter.	Prints the order lines with the selected menu type (such as starter, main course, dessert) on the kitchen printers and the KDS. Populates the POS Pop-up panel with the menu types of the restaurant. When you select the menu type you want to print, the kitchen printing process prints the order lines with that type.	Sales POS function menu
KITCHEN_HOLDINKDS	1. No parameter - Brings up the numpad where the waiter inserts the exact number of minutes he wants to hold the order. Maximum minutes to hold an order in the KDS is set in Hospitality Setup. 2. Positive number - The exact minutes the order will be held. When the button is pressed, HELD FOR # Min. appears in the header of the panel. 3. Negative number - Clears the minutes to hold.	You can send orders to the KDS and specify how many minutes they should be held before displaying them on the display stations. For example, if you select 20 minutes to hold the main courses (after you have sent the starters right away to the KDS), the main courses will appear on the KDS after 20 minutes, just as if they would if the staff manually sent them 20 minutes after the starters. In the same manner you can rush the order to the KDS and then it goes in front of the line. If the Display Station is a printer then the text ** RUSH ORDER ** is printed on the chit.

The Kitchen Status window allows waiters to keep track of the kitchen process for individual order lines. The window shows how many minutes ago order lines were last printed to a printer station. If you are using a kitchen monitor, the window also shows for each line the quantity that has been sent to kitchen or is waiting to be sent, the quantity that has been started, and the quantity that has been finished in the kitchen. For each status it shows the minutes that have passed since the order line received the status. The window also shows the quantity that is marked as “waiter confirmed”.	Sales POS menu
