What can you set on a kitchen screen?

Answer

Open the kitchen screen under Connected devices. You give it a name, choose which products appear on it and save display preferences: dark or light, what appears on the cards, the colour of a supplement and after how long you show the preparation time.

Where to find it

Settings > Till and products > Tills and equipment, click the kitchen screen (/Settings/externaldevices).

Explanation

You pair a kitchen screen with a pairing code, like a POS, and it needs no IP address. For a new kitchen screen the Restaurant, Courses and Kitchen screen add-ons must be on. You use the kitchen screen itself on the device; see How does the kitchen screen work?. The preferences below are stored with the device; the kitchen screen does not read them yet at the moment. You switch Light or dark with the Light or dark button on the screen itself.
