POS Kitchen Display Settings

Use Kitchen displays settings to view devices consuming the site's KDS licence seats and to refresh the list of paired kitchen devices.

KDS is now an Android app. Pair each Android kitchen display from the Tapa Kitchen app, then manage the paired device from this POS settings screen.

Licence usage

The licence usage panel shows how many kitchen display devices are paired against the number of available licence seats.

  • Last seen shows the most recent time the POS saw the kitchen display.
  • App version shows the Tapa Kitchen app version running on the device.
  • Paired shows when the display was paired to this site.
