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
at
  • in KDS. All dishes within one session will be displayed in one order without being grouped by service print groups, i.e. in the same order as at the cash
register (
  • station — can be used for
meal
  • dish course
modelling
  • 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.

Fig. An example of KDS server settings


  • When the KDS display is set using the F2 key When configuring the KDS display in the window called by the F2 key, only the actual service print groups that use the dishes (Bar, Kitchen, Hot Kitchen) need to should be ticked. It is not essential obligatory to tick the Print group. You can either tick it or not. But if the Print group uses is used by the dishes for this display, you should tick itit as well.

They are required only for the process of selecting the already formed orders At KDS in KDS for the server. I.e. if some of the orders are not required at the server they can be cast off reset this way (to reduce , thus reducing the load on the server).
