kitchen display

[Tucker]

Hi,

I am testing the program for use in my coffee shop and was wondering if anyone knows hows I could display orders on another monitor in the kitchen.

Thanks,

Tuck

Tucker,

There have been several proposals for a "kitchen" feature for the program. But when someone else has offered to write the code for this they have never followed through. I have thought of doing this but it keeps being put off so I can work on other features. But it will happen eventually.

Until then you can use the REMOTE.EXE program as long as your registers are on a network. You setup a networked computer in the kitchen and run REMOTE.EXE on it. Set the PATH to the folders on the computers that are being used as registers, up to 6 registers. What will happen is that the screen will display the pole display output from each window on the REMOTE.EXE screen. (Even if you do not have pole displays on your registers.) You can select which window on the screen is active and scroll through the last 100 or so lines in that window.

It is not the best possible solution but it will work after a fasion.
