Is there any further news on the release of KDS v2? there was talk in july about it being tested in some stores, would love to know if this is due any time soon?
or if it’s possible to get onto the Beta test group?
We still rely on a paper printer backup and only really use the KDS for an overview, as the sluggishness and first version bugs make it unusable when we get busy.
As this is a paid Add on feature i think we really need to prioritise having this as a MVP, i’ve been waiting years to really lean into the improvements to our flow that a true KDS can make.
Yes we have a version 2 that has been live in some beta test locations for a while now. As you know KDS is a very important feature that when a restaurant starts using it they rely heavy on it. For these reasons we extended a longer than usual beta test for version 2. I am happy to say that version 2 is very stable. We have not launched version 2 officially yet as we still have a few polishing tasks to do on it however if you want to see it you can PM me and we can let you beta test it.
Expo screen function: you can turn any tablet into an Expo screen where marking items completed on the KDS screens will turn that item green on the expo screen indicating it is ready and the server can see and mark it sent to table clearing the expo screen.
