Station Settings

Overview

Station Settings control how each station’s screen looks and reads. Set them per station so every screen suits the people working at it — for example a list layout on a small screen or Arabic for a station that prefers it. The bottom of the Settings screen also holds the In-app updates card — see App Updates.

Requirements

  • The KDS paired to the POS — see Pairing
  • At least one station set up in Stations

Steps

Open Settings

Open Settings from the KDS app.

Open Settings to configure the station.

Choose the station

Pick the station whose display you want to change. The screen switches to that station’s saved language straight away.

Choose the station to configure.

Set the layout

Under Choose System Layout, pick grid (masonry) or list, depending on the screen and how many orders you handle at once.

Pick a grid (masonry) or list layout.

Set the language

Under Choose Language, pick English or Arabic.

Choose the station's language.

Toggle Show customer name

Under Order Card, turn Show customer name on or off depending on whether your station needs the customer’s name on each card. By default, the customer name doesn’t show.

Show or hide the customer name on cards.

Save

Tap Save. The button stays grey until you change something, and shows Saving… while it saves. The new layout, language and card settings apply once saving finishes.

Notes

Settings apply to the chosen station only, so each screen can have its own layout, language and card details.

Station settings are stored on this KDS screen. They aren’t changed by the POS or by syncing, so they stay as you set them until you change them here.

The station you pick is shared across Open, History and Settings, and the screen remembers it after a restart.

Troubleshooting

Language or layout didn’t change? Make sure you tapped Save — changes only apply after saving.

Seeing “No stations available”? Check that stations are set up in Stations and assigned to this location, then sync again from the main POS. Also make sure the screen is paired — see Pairing.
