    Name of the serving employee. On the above screen, it is Sam Thopes.
  • Service Areas

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 who 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). Checkout 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 Show Course and Show Position buttons from 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 just tap on the checkbox adjacent to that item and the item name will be strike-off from 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 returning, Quantic shows the item as well as order-level notes on the KDS tickets. It helps chefs and expo to make sure of any special instruction requested by the customer.
Where the item level notes are shown just below the item, the order level notes have their separate section under the item list.
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 the front. If the item is marked as completed it will only show Void written in the front.
