The kitchen display depends on the local network and the station workflow configured in FloCafe. Test it with the same devices and release used in service.
Requirements
- A FloCafe host and KDS device on the same trusted local network.
- Configured kitchen stations and a test menu order.
- A tested KOT or paper fallback if service requires one.
Steps
- Open the KDS or pairing view in FloCafe.
- Use the displayed LAN address or QR code from the second device.
- Send orders for every configured station.
- Check table, order type, modifiers, notes, and elapsed time.
- Move tickets through new, preparing, ready, and completed states.
- Restart the display and reconnect the network, then repeat a small test order.
Verify success
Each station receives the correct ticket, ticket details remain intact, state changes are visible, and the display reconnects after a controlled restart.
Common errors
Different networks, blocked local access, stale pairing, or an unavailable host can interrupt delivery. Preserve the configuration and logs; keep the fallback workflow available during diagnosis.
