What's new in the kitchen display app

Last updated on Nov 07, 2026

What changed in each version of the kitchen display app, newest first. To see which version you have, open HELP and look under Build Information. To update, see Check this screen's licence, sync and app version.

Version 1.5.2 (November 2026)

  • Change an order's time. Tap ⋮ on an open Takeaway or Delivery order, then Change time, to move it 15 or 30 minutes, or to another time or day. Staff are asked for a manager's PIN. On a mypreorder order the customer is told by email, and by a notification if they have your app; the screen needs the internet for it. A docket from your POS can be moved offline, and your POS keeps its own time. See Change an order's time.
  • Moved from. A moved order shows its new time with Moved from and the old time under it, and its timer counts down to the new time. An order moved in the mypreorder portal or POS shows it too.
  • The date on an order for another day, as in TAKEAWAY Sun 8 Nov at 2:05 PM, and days on the timer, as in 1d 0:18:00.
  • An icon beside every item in the ⋮ menu, and the menu's text follows Content Size.

Version 1.5.1 (November 2026)

  • The order number your Uniwell AX or HX prints. If the kitchen print carries the order number, as ORDER #185 or ORD NO. 111, the card shows that number instead of the receipt number. It also does on a docket with no clerk or transaction line at the bottom, where a short order could show the order number as an item. The POS and printer name line no longer shows as a note. See Connect a Uniwell AX or HX POS.
  • No quantity box when the docket prints no quantities. If your kitchen print leaves the quantity off, as many coffee shops do, the card and View Order no longer show a 1 beside every item.
  • Raw receipt colours stay the same. With Display mode set to Raw receipt, the POS name, the order number and the items keep their colours from one order to the next.

Version 1.5.0 (November 2026)

  • Orders in a grid. Settings → Display → Board Layout → Grid shows a set number of boxes across and down, one order in each, so the whole screen is used. On a 1080p screen, 5 columns and 2 rows show 10 orders, and 6 columns show 12. Fill Order sets whether the next order goes below or to the right, and Show Empty Boxes outlines the free ones. Phones, and tablets held upright, keep one row. See Change the display size, colours and alert sound.
  • "+3 lines" on a long order. When an order is longer than its card, a pill at the bottom says how many lines are out of view. Tap it to see the whole order.
  • A tab for orders off the screen. When orders don't all fit, a tab in the bottom-right corner, such as +2 →, shows how many are off to the right. Tap it to move along.
  • Long cards fit above a message strip. A message at the top of the display now makes the cards shorter, instead of hiding their last lines.

Version 1.4.4 (November 2026)

  • Uniwell AX and HX quantities of 10 or more, printed without decimals. With Decimal quantity entry permitted off, the POS cuts a bigger number to fit, as in 39 xChicken Shawarma or 100 Beef Kebab. The display now reads these as 39 and 100, and the category headings above them show as headings again.

Version 1.4.3 (October 2026)

  • A strip says when the display can't reach the server. On a display that takes online orders, a strip at the top says when new online orders can't reach it, or while the server is being updated. It never covers the board: bumping, printing and orders from the POS carry on. See Orders are not arriving on the display.
  • Uniwell AX and HX quantities of 10 or more. A POS that prints quantities with decimals drops decimals to fit a bigger number, as in 39.0Chicken Shawarma or 100.Beef Kebab. The display now reads these as 39 and 100.

Version 1.4.2 (October 2026)

  • See what's new before you update. When a new version is offered, the blue bar at the top of the screen has What's new, which shows what changed, with Update beside it. Settings → Account shows the same notes under the offer, and links to this page.
  • Uniwell AX and HX quantities printed with decimals. If your POS prints quantities as 1.00, as in 1.00Large Latte, the display now shows the quantity, and a modifier one space further from it, such as 1.00 Soy Milk, goes under its item. The POS doesn't have to print modifiers white on black. See Connect a Uniwell AX or HX POS.
  • Uniwell dockets that end with extra blank lines keep their order number, and the clerk and date lines at the bottom no longer show as items.

Version 1.4.1 (October 2026)

  • Check for updates finds a new version of the app. Settings → Account → Check for updates now looks for a new version of the app as well as smaller updates, and shows the version you have.
  • Google Play updates install. From this version, Update downloads the new version while the screen keeps working, then offers Restart to install once no orders are in progress. To get 1.4.1 itself, update the app from the Play Store.
  • Uniwell dockets: cooking instructions, typed or handwritten, show under their item, and the last item on a docket is no longer left off the card.

Version 1.4.0 (October 2026)

  • POS categories on the order card. If your Uniwell AX, HX or MGP prints categories on its kitchen dockets, each group of items sits under its category heading. Give a category a colour and its heading shows as a band: see Highlight items and allergens in colour. Consolidated Items groups by category, and the dockets the kitchen display prints show the headings. To turn categories on at the POS, see Connect a Uniwell AX or HX POS or Connect a Uniwell MGP POS.
  • Uniwell AX and HX modifiers go under their item even when the POS doesn't print them white on black.
  • Tablets too old to run the app now say Update Chrome and Android System WebView instead of staying on the start screen. See The app stays on its start screen, or says Update Chrome and Android System WebView.
  • Windows app: links open in your browser, and Help → Help & Support (F1) works before anyone signs in.
  • Smaller fixes: the licence key fills in its dashes as you type, and POS System comes first in the Virtual Printer settings.
