The Kitchen Display Screen in Nimbus RMS
The Kitchen Display screen (KDS) in Nimbus Restaurant software allows your kitchen staff to view all placed orders on digital screens, streamlining order preparation. This feature enables the kitchen team to prioritize orders, follow special instructions, and minimize errors.
By default, the Kitchen Display screen shows orders from all restaurant modes. If your restaurant operates in different modes (e.g., dine-in, takeaway, home delivery), you can filter the display by selecting the desired mode from the drop-down menu.
Simply click on the “Show/Hide Display Options” , select the mode, and then click the “Search” button.
The Kitchen Display screen provides the following details:
Order Identification: The POS or cash register where the order was placed is displayed. To make identification easier, you can attach a prefix to the register code specifically for the KDS. This prefix will appear with the order number in bold on the top left corner.
Note: To add a prefix, navigate to the Restaurant Settings screen and enter the order prefix next to the register code.
Order Time: The exact time when the order was placed.
Dining Mode: The dining mode of the order (e.g., dine-in, takeout). For dine-in orders, the table number and hall name will also be displayed.
Order Details: A list of the menu items included in the order, their quantity, as well as the modifiers attached with any menu item.
Using the Kitchen Display Screen
Once an order is prepared, click the “P” button located at the top right corner of the screen.
This action will remove the order from the Kitchen Display Screen, and it will then appear in the “Open Orders” tab on the Sales and Return screen, where it can be retrieved for provisional billing and final billing.
