In the Font Size tab, select the font size for all text on the kitchen display

Color
Color coding identification in ticket headers shows the order type so cooks know whether to plate items or bag and box them. Easily identify ticket source, timelapse, modifiers, item comments, or order comments. This slight difference helps your cooks make each dish to customers’ specifications.
Source
The source indicates what kind of order from customers. KDS displays these order types in a color-coded badge. You can identify the source of orders on the KDS if you color-code tickets from different sources.
There are 4 different order types submitted from POS.
- Instore - This is one of the most frequent order source in KDS which are instore/table orders.
- Tikt - This order type appears when customers orders from the Tikt application.
- Online Order - This order type always shows the Online Orders, where the customer sent the order to the restaurant from the linked online website.
- Pickup - Pick Up order type appears when customers call in or order the food via an online platform/Tikt
