You can change how dockets look on each Nomni KDS screen so the kitchen can read them quickly.

  • Device: Nomni KDS.

  • Permissions and settings: If Require Manager access to change settings is on, you need the manager PIN.

  2. To tidy the screen, turn on Hide Completed Order Items or Hide Hold Orders.

Keep long dockets on screen

Using the iPad KDS app?

The steps above use Nomni KDS for Android (KDS Go) names. On the iPad KDS app the names are different. See "Nomni KDS for iPad: settings explained".

  • iPad: hide items with Hide Completed Order Items and Hide Hold Orders.

  • iPad: copy settings with BACKUP DATA and RECOVER DATA on the ADVANCED tab.


If something goes wrong
