These settings are available to everyone, including staff logins — no manager PIN needed.

Display settings

Card and text size

Settings → Display has two separate size controls, and they do different things:

  • Order Card Size — how wide the cards are, and so how many fit on screen. Compact shows four or more, Standard three, Large two.
  • Content Size — how big the text is inside a card. Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large.

If the screen is across the kitchen and hard to read, raise Content Size first. If you need to see more orders at once, drop Order Card Size.

Colours

Colour Theme changes the palette used for the stage colours on card headers:

Theme Best for
Professional The default — muted, easy on the eye over a long shift
Modern Vibrant and highly saturated
High Contrast Maximum readability, and the best choice for a screen in bright light
Classic A more traditional palette

Appearance switches between light and dark. Dark is usually easier in a dim kitchen; light is better under bright overhead lighting.

Time format

Time Format switches between 12-hour and 24-hour. You can also just tap the clock in the sidebar to toggle it.

Sound

Settings → Sound controls the alert that plays when an order arrives.

Sound Character
Chime Two ascending tones — the default
Bell A single bright tone
Ding A quick double tap
Alert An urgent three-tone, for a noisy kitchen

Use the volume slider to set the level. Each sound previews as you select it, so you can compare them with the extraction running.

Keeping the screen on

Keep Screen Awake, under Settings → Display, stops the tablet sleeping mid-service. Leave it on for any screen being used as a permanent kitchen display.
