Assign a product to a Kitchen Display (KDS) screen so that orders for it appear on that screen. Use this when you have one or more KDS screens and want each station (for example the hot kitchen or the drinks bar) to see only its own items.
Applies to: All markets · QashierHQ · Kitchen Display System (KDS) add-on (Waiter Display System (WDS) add-on for waiter displays).
Before you start
KDS Selection only appears if the Kitchen Display System add-on is active for your store. You can check this under Qashier Marketplace in QashierHQ, or contact Qashier Support to activate it.
Each KDS screen in your store is numbered k1, k2, k3 and so on. The number of options matches the number of KDS screens set up for your store.
KDS Selection is not shown for products in a category that displays items by size and colour.
Assign a product to a KDS
Log in to QashierHQ.
In the sidebar, go to Products & Inventory > Product Management.
Select your store.
Open the product's category and click the product. You can also click the search icon to find the product by name.
In KDS Selection, choose every screen that should show this product. For example, choose k1 for the hot kitchen and k2 for the drinks station. You can choose more than one screen.
Click Confirm to save.
The screenshot shows an older version of the QashierHQ sidebar. The KDS Selection field in the product form is the same.
Important: If a product's KDS Selection is left empty, the product does not show on any KDS when it is ordered.
Using a Waiter Display (WDS)? Assign products the same way with the WDS Selection field, next to KDS Selection. Waiter Display screens are numbered w1, w2 and so on.
What you should see
When a customer orders the product, the order appears on each KDS screen you selected. Screens you did not select do not show it.
