About the Upstream Status Feature
Orders and combo meals are generally prepared at two or more different stations prior to final assembly and delivery to the customer. The Upstream Status feature indicates the status of order item components at other stations and disallows the bumping of an order from a kitchen display until all order item components are fully prepared.
See also Show Upstream Indicators on the Cells page of the Kitchen Screen Settings editor.
Upstream Screens for Hold Timer
Select Add Screens to select the upstream screens that trigger the Hold Timer on this display when corresponding orders are bumped from them.
The Hold Timer is the amount of time the order has been sitting in the ‘Hold’ area awaiting customer arrival. The Hold Timer starts when the order is bumped from the upstream screens.
Priority Order Destinations
Select Add Destinations to select the order destinations that can be sent to the display as "priority orders".
When XKM receives an order from the Ordering application with a priority flag, XKM identifies the order as a priority order and presents it on the kitchen display as follows:
"Priority Order" is displayed in the kitchen ticket header.
The order is displayed in the first cell of the order queue ahead of all other orders.
This notifies the kitchen staff that they need to prepare the priority order immediately before other orders in the queue.
