Kitchen Displays, Kitchen Key Ingredient Summaries & Kitchen Keypads

Kitchen Displays

Kitchen displays are terminals running the Kitchen application for displaying order items in the kitchen. A single kitchen display can display two different kitchen views in a split screen setup. Whether it displays one view or two views is setup in the Kitchen Display dialog.

The split screen functionality is provided to allow the user to make use of one terminal for two functions. For instance if you have a grill and a fryer right next to each other, you can have one terminal that is setup to split screen so that half of the kitchen display is the grill and the other half is the fryer.
