Long orders continue across columns
When an order has more items than fit in a single column of the KDS screen — common on an Expo display, or for large orders with many toppings and options — the order card automatically continues into the next column instead of being cut off.
You will see:
- The order's first card fills its column and shows continues ▸ at the bottom right.
- The rest of the order appears in the next column under a compact header: the order number followed by · continued.
- Very large orders may continue across more than two columns, or onto the next page.
Every item always stays visible — nothing is hidden or cut off, and you never need to scroll inside a card.
Working with a continued order
A continued order behaves exactly like a single card:
- Tap any item to change its status — it doesn't matter which card the item is on.
- Tap the header of any of the order's cards to advance the whole order at once.
- The progress count in the first card's header (for example 3/12) always counts the entire order, not just the items on that card.
Note: The "continued" card is part of the same order — it is not a separate order. Bumping from any of its cards updates the whole order.
Narrow columns: the card header adapts
On smaller screens, or when the KDS shows many columns at once, a column can be too narrow to fit everything in the card header on one line. When that happens the header adapts instead of cutting anything off:
- The due time, countdown and progress badges move down onto their own line under the order number.
- A long order source name (for example a delivery marketplace) is shortened with ….
Nothing is hidden — every badge and the progress count stay fully visible. On wider screens the header shows everything on a single line as usual.
If a card ever looks cut off
Order cards size themselves to their content, so a cut-off card should no longer occur. If you ever see one, refresh the display using the refresh button in the toolbar, and report it to support if it persists.
