General questions about the Kitchen Monitor System

We can use up to 60 monitors simultaneously in our professional Kitchen Monitor System. If you have a large number of monitors, we recommend using the variant with SQL database.

Yes, they can use the Kitchen Monitor system from any Hypersoft POS device, including payment terminals with mPOS(PayPOS) and Self Order Kiosk (SOT), as well as from the web shops.

The Kitchen Supervisor controls all Kitchen Monitors and gives you an overview of capacity utilisation and the current process as required. As a rule, the Kitchen Supervisor runs in the background, but can be reached in Operating if necessary.

error messages
- Message Kitchen Supervisor does not respond Option I: If the connection from the individual monitors to the Kitchen Supervisor is interrupted, you will receive a warning message. Usually this is a network problem that you can correct by default. The network sockets on the device or in the sockets or patch cables are most frequently defective.
- Message Kitchen Supervisor does not respond Option II: If the network is working properly and this message still appears, then the Kitchen Monitor communication file is "blocked". This can only have external causes such as unnoticed (because temporary) defective networks, non-recommended anti-virusprograms, or unqualified interventions.

-
The reason for this could be that the settings in the stock and capacity specification did not take the monitor allocation into account. Alternatively, you can also assign the monitors of the individual items under the Kitchen capacities module.
-
The reason for this could be the required setting in the order group system or in the ward management. Here the hook "Kitchen Supervisor o. Use Ticket Printer" is required.

Questions about the workflow

The item availability function in availability manager , which can be called up via the Hypersoft POS or the MCP, is used for this purpose. There is also the option of starting programmes such as the availability manager via the Kitchen Monitor or generally setting up an additional workstation for this purpose.

It is signalled that a fax or text info is attached to an item . Via the context menu when tapping on the position, it can also be displayed . However, we recommend communicating as much information as possible through queries and attachments, so that individual correspondence can be dispensed with at this point.

The Row Station can provide the information using the Show all positions function. This is only possible for the Row Station and also "not all at the same time and clearly".

Yes, in principle it is possible. To do this, you use a virtual machine that displays the items on the Workflow Manager as the "accepting" station.

To do this, you can set up the printer for printing on the Kitchen Supervisor accordingly. The process of printing success then follows in the course of completing the Kitchen Monitor item .
Questions about hardware

The lifetime of Kitchen Hardware is significantly reduced due to the emissions the devices are exposed to. As a rule, the lifetime should be estimated at approx. 3 years. Repairs to the equipment are also less worthwhile, as the equipment is often heavily soiled inside and mandatory cleaning before repair increases costs. Also the external wear can be unsightly after this period. Bump Bars can last longer depending on use, but should be equipped with new touch foils (accessories).
