FOH use of KVD:

KVD (Kitchen Video Display) This is a monitor, usually not a touchscreen, used for viewing orders sent from the terminal. Ordyx does offer touchscreen KVDs and does not need a physical bump bar. When a user creates an order and selects send on the terminal; the items are sent to its assigned kitchen display.

Owners have the option to use printers, a KVD, or both types at the same time. The most common place to operate KVD’s is Quick Service and Fast food establishments. Fine Dining services can also implement the use of KVDs. Generally, the size of the monitor is between 15 and 25 inches, however it may be larger.

•KVD Display mode: First In, First Out: When the first order is created and sent to the kitchen display, it will be the first order out once the kitchen finishes preparing the item (meal). If the user selects recall, it will bring the order to left with a different color.
