Header

The ticket header gives information about the service area, payment status, time, and server.

The header is customized to change color according to the time elapsed, which is configurable by the KDS user.

The top of the header shows the service area in which the order is taken and its payment status.

If the order is paid, it will show Paid alongside the service area name as shown in the above screenshot.


On the top left of the header, it shows the name of the server that took the order, and below it shows the date and time at which the order was sent to
the kitchen.

Check out the above screenshots.


On the top right of the header, you can see the order number (#342) and the time elapsed (00:09).

Check out the above screens.

The header color changes based on the time elapsed.

Elapsed time – It is the time calculated from when the item was sent to the kitchen.

Coursing and Positioning

Quantic KDS shows coursing and positioning on the tickets.

To enable coursing and positioning, the users have to enable the Show Course and Show Position buttons in the settings.

Item List

The ticket shows the list of items in an order.

Once an item is prepared in the kitchen, the chef can tap the checkbox next to it, and the item name will be struck off the list.

The completed items from the kitchen will go to the Expo screen.

Once an item is ready to serve, the Expo can mark it as completed by tapping on the Bump button.

Notes

To not miss any detail and to avoid dishes being returned, Quantic shows the item and order-level notes on the KDS tickets.

It helps chefs and expo to ensure that any special instructions are followed by the customer.

Where the item level notes are shown just below the item, the order level notes have their own separate section under the item list.

Footer

The footer in the Quantic KDS tickets varies for the Expo Screen and the Kitchen Screen.

In the Kitchen screen, the footer gives an option to Select All items to mark them as completed.

It shows the number of items completed vs the total number of items and the Bump button, which will allow the Chef to send the entire ticket to the Expo screen once tapped on.

In the Expo Screen, the footer gives an option to Select All items to mark them as completed.

It shows the number of items completed vs the total number of items and the Done button, which will allow the Expo to mark the ticket as completely done.

Void

Quantic also allows you to void specific items in an order.

If this setting is enabled, the void item will be grayed, unable to select, and it will have Void written in front.

If the item is marked as completed, it will only show Void written in the front.
