Expo KDS

Usage
  • If Expo screen exists > Once each KDS has bumped their orders,  the order status still remains as In Kitchen with KDS status Preparing and only becomes  Prepared when bumped on Expo screen.

  • If the orders are shown with the status Prepared then all orders with the same status will be shown, if any one items in the order has been Prepared

  • You are only able to Bump the orders when all items have been prepared. You are able to disable Bump until then.
