The operations algorithm of the KDS client app is set in the SQL settings field. You can choose one of the preset scripts or create your own algorithm.

For example, to display only the ready dishes, dishes to be delivered, orders being prepared, etc. As the selection of a dish or an order changes their status, the KDS display will only show those meeting the request's conditions that will be highlighted in a color corresponding to their current status. Items not meeting the request's requirements will not be displayed. For this reason, when selecting the dish or order, they will either be removed from the display, or change their highlight color.

Several standard options are offered but the user can generate the necessary request on his/her owntheir own request.

After the dish data is transferred from the cash register station to KDS, the dish and the order get the unprocessed Unprocessed status. It is possible to change the status , i.e. assign a status, at the time of when selecting the dish or order:

Operation Field

...

In the Operation field, you need to define specify the event that will take place at the time of happen when selecting the dish or the order.
Dish and order management suggests that means changing their status will be changed during the work process.
The system uses four statuses. Once the dish is transferred from the cash register station to KDS, the dish and the order are assigned given the Not Processed status.You can make the following changes to the status of the dish and the order at the
time of selectionWhen selecting a dish, you can change the status to the following:
Prepare
Ready
Deliver (TakeOut)
The status can only be changed in the following order:
Not Processed ---> Prepared ---> Ready ---> Picked Up/DeliveredTaken Out
Therefore, it is impossible, for instanceexample, to switch change the status of a dish from Not Processed to Picked Up/Delivereddirectly to Taken Out.
By default defaultm the following colors are used for highlighting each status:
Transferred from the cash register – station — white;
Prepared – — yellow;
Ready – purple ;
Delivered/Picked Up – blue .

2	opReadyOrder	When the order is selected, the entire order will get the Ready status. It This operation is used for different displays to show the orders one by one. If it is used in displays showing line by line, then after selecting a window with a dish, all dishes in the order will receive the Ready status (— i.e., will be removed from the display and will be highlighted in another color).
3	opTakeOut	If the order is When selected, the entire order will receive the Delivered/Picked Up status provided that Taken Out status, if the entire order has the Ready status. If the order contains unprepared dishes, nothing will change at the time of its selection. It is only used for waiter displays as it is recommended delivering/picking up to take an order through out using them, although it is possible to do it with any other display.
4	opReadyAndTakeOut	If the order is When selected, the entire order will get the Ready and Delivered/Picked Up status.Taken Out status It is used for the cook's display, when a dish is prepared and delivered right away (in bars, for instance)taken out at once, f.ex., in bars. In this case, no action should be taken at the time of delivering the order special action is needed for taking out the order, which saves time.

8	opPrepareDish	If When selected, the dish is selected it will will get the Prepared status. This is an internal (, i.e. intermediate ) status which is used before ReadyDish. It is not recommended for use in a standard configuration. It is used only for the three-stage option: cook (Prepared), order assembler (Ready), and waiter (Delivered/Picked UpTaken Out), for instanceexample, when using the substitution editor. In a standard configuration, when a dish is assigned gets the Ready status, the dish always gets Prepared status automatically.
9	opCustom	Enables you to take perform several actions on a one station. When you select selecting this operation, you get an additional opportunity to set configure the operations for this display form (— preparation, readiness, delivery). Based Depending on the settings, a single display can be used to prepare, cook and deliver a dish. You can take between perform from one and to three actions depending on the enterprise's needs.

Join By Order + OneKDSCheck (RK6)

If

the RK6 cash register

r_keeper 6 cash station uses the OneKdsCheck=ON server setting

(

specified in Rkeeper6.ini at the cash server

)

, then whether this setting is present or not does not affect how the order is displayed

emulator, if the courses are entered as dishes

).

The OneKdsCheck=ON setting is available

for cash register versions starting

since cash station version 6.97.1.

Under

When this setting is used, the order in the Order Control is formed as one order and its sequence of dishes fully corresponds to the

sequence of dishes

one entered at the cash

register

station. I.e. a single order is generated for the session

as opposed to

and not several orders grouped by service print groups.

Important!

Note
When such an order is

generated

created, it is

allocated

given the first service print group

(

— the print group with a minimal cipher

) from the RK6 Editor (you

— from r_keeper 6 Editor. You can see the cipher in streams.db

)

. It is necessary to tick this service print group

on

at the KDS server, otherwise this service print group will be

cast off

reset and the order will fail to reach the KDS server.

Example: The service print group has a minimal cipher of 1 and is called Print. The dishes within the order have service print groups with ciphers 3 (Kitchen), 8 (Bar), and 10 (Hot Kitchen). For the dishes to be shown on KDS displays it is necessary to tick all four groups.

When the KDS display is set using the F2 key only the actual service print groups that use the dishes (Bar, Kitchen, Hot Kitchen) need to When configuring the KDS display in the window called by the F2 key, only the actual service print groups that use the dishes should be ticked.
