@roydeanjr and I have been working on a KDS extension, which is now live in the marketplace. It gives a kitchen view of all open orders allowing for quick and easy prep and movement through the order process. We look forward to hearing your feedback.

Extremely useful extension @roydeanjr and @ryanmitchell . Thanks for making this available to the community.

@roydeanjr and @ryanmitchel …. found a small display glitch. If a Meal Item does not have any options the following Meal Item name flows into one string. Example - Actual Display: 1x Jerk Chicken Sausage Pasta Salad 1x Baked Chicken in Bar-B-Q Sauce Expected Display: 1x Jerk Chicken Sausage Pasta Salad 1x Baked Chicken in Bar-B-Q Sauce I believe the if ($menuItemOptions = $menuItemsOptions->get($menuItem->order_menu_id)) { may need expanding to include an else with an html break.

@pjscuisine thanks, I’ll push an update shortly

pjscuisine You are correct! My apologies, I did fix this on my system, but failed to pull request it to the source. Yes, an else is the addition I made. Have you updated this yet, ryanmitchell ? UPDATE: the fix had/has been added. Please confirm you have the updates and it is working. Thank you!

I tried to download on my system but It didn’t add the extension folder. It worked normally a few days ago. And I look forward to supporting the following functions in this system. View Delivery only Show all by date

minyeongkim I pushed an update earlier today for auto refreshing the page. As it’s a kitchen system I don’t think it makes sense to limit the view to delivery or pick up - the idea is the kitchen would see all orders. I don’t know what you mean by view all date - Dan you explain?

ryanmitchell I just want to see only orders for today’s date in the kitchen. and I think delivery drivers can use this menu if it can only see delivery orders in this extension.

minyeongkim I’ll accept a PR for the order date as a setting or an option that can be toggled. I’m not keen to extend this to delivery at this point, but the extension could be easily duplicated and adapted for that purpose.

minyeongkim We did not limit to today’s orders due to testing old orders. The theory is that there will only be active, current orders in this system as EVERY ORDER should be cancelled or completed. Additionally, when the customer enters a Pre-Order, that will have been entered before today, possibly, and it needs to be filled when it is requested. The Kitchen Display currently displays orders in the sequence of how they are requested by the customer. If the customer does not specify a date and/or pickup time then the order will be entered as ASAP and the time will be whatever is calculated by the system when the order is saved. I hope that helps you understand.

Would it be possible to extend the functionality of the extension to separate purchased by kitchen station (ie grill, fryer, etc). I’d like to set up a display by each station so they only see parts of each meal that they need to prepare to keep things flowing efficiently.

Kitchen Display Extension

parrishoffer

Hi there, I really like the kitchen app, and just wondering a few things
1) Is there a way to show which restaurant the order came from? We utilize one tablet for two restaurants that are side by side.
2) Is there a way to clear an order off the kitchen order screen once it’s been completed? Or do thy only disappear after it reaches the total limit of orders
thanks

ryanmitchell

Not at the moment no. I may push an update in future that uses the build in location selection rather than the ability to choose a setting. Its the ‘right’ thing to do in TI
Yes, you need to have an initial status set to something like received, and then whenever the button 3 status is set it will drop off.

parrishoffer

ryanmitchell 1. That’s great! It would be great if they were colour coded or used the logo to differentiate. I love how you have allowed the buttons to be different colours. It really is fantastic. 2. Hmm interesting. I have the initial state set to received. I have three buttons Cancelled, Preparation, and Completed. After I hit the completed button, the items still switch to completed but remain in the kitchen app. Probably user error so i will try a few more times.

ryanmitchell

It definitely works on that beta - I’m using it myself. If you can share your view settings then maybe I can notice something.

breaksecurity

Basically the actual codes just keeps in the display the button 1 and 2 statuses. So be sure to do not have completed or cancelled among them. You can amend the code in summary.php next to the comment “//what we query from DB”. I will work on pulling the statuses to query directly from the system settings rather than buttons. @parrishoffer

breaksecurity

Just a quick workaround. Put in order statuses array the id of the statuses you wanna have on KD. When you edit a status the id is the number at the end of the url

jgalvinjr

I have a question about permissions. How do I give a Staff account access to the KD views without giving them superuser access? I’ve tried giving them Manager role with Global Access, but unless I give them superuser access, all they see when attempting to load a KD view is “Access Denied”.

Thank you.

ryanmitchell

You need to give the role access to the thoughtco.kitchendisplay.* permission

Hi I can’t see any order in the kitchen display, Why?

pjscuisine

cenzi1996 Is this a fresh install of the extension? If so, ensure you configure the “Orders with selected status” with the order status you would like to display.

cenzi1996

hi, thanks for the reply, I was writing now that I solved it by reading other people who have had problems, I had not put the product for sale in any category

pjscuisine

cenzi1996 Great! Happy you got it solved.

Love this extension and it’s just what I was looking for. I am having a slight issue when it comes to access to Kitchen Display for any user that isn’t a super admin. Is there any way for a manager or staff to be able to access this area too, or have I missed something? Thanks.

breaksecurity

bisonator yep set permission to user from settings

bisonator

Ah, I knew there would be something somewhere but I couldn’t see the settings anywhere. Where is this particular settings in the admin organisation structure? Thanks.

breaksecurity

admin/staff_roles or go under user staff than click roles and edit the group role permission

bisonator

Is there a way to show tips on the kitchen view breakdowns? Or a simple code adjustment to do so. Thanks.

ryanmitchell

You would need to add it to the object here:
https://github.com/ryanmitchell/ti-ext-kitchendisplay/blob/ddc0f578973bbed987d16272b423c19e4f62f107/controllers/Summary.php#L241

then amend the output here:
https://github.com/ryanmitchell/ti-ext-kitchendisplay/blob/ddc0f578973bbed987d16272b423c19e4f62f107/views/summary/view.blade.php#L35

I am so happy to see this extension I had created something similar back in 2.xx
