  2. I would like to access prep times per order & per day. We receive at times that food took too long and then we need to access the data. Also to monitor the efficiency of the kitchen.

  3. I am all in with Clover if I could only adjust the Kitchen Printer Chits. I need a compact and readable printout. Kitchen efficiency is above all else in my casual dining restaurant.

    The current order printer setup in the kitchen is too large, too spaced out, hard to read font, and splits items up by table and guests. The kitchen just needs items to make and in the mods in a simple condensed format please.

  5. The ability to route items to the kitchen based on order type. For example, a kitchen that wants to send to go /online orders to a specific printer located in the kitchen and dine in orders to a different printer. This is great for restaurants that have a separate kitchen preparing to go and online orders. Right now, the work around is to create duplicate items, Fries (For Here) and Fries (To Go). Although this works, it makes item reporting and menus more confusing.

  7. Inventory currently has the ability to have labels and categories when sending it to an assigned kitchen printer. It would be very helpful if we could also give each item a "priority" in which it is printed on the ticket.

    If a customer wanted to turn on a feature that allowed them to also give those items a priority would make things much smoother in a kitchen that only has a single kitchen printer.

    For example:

    Inventory items currently have the ability to be categorized. When assigned to a category, you can also assign a Priority level.

    Hamburger - category…

  8. KDS needs a summary of all orders with counts. If there are 5 tickets on the display, there needs to be a summary bar like freshKDS that shows for example 5 burgers 4 soups 1 sub etc. the total number or all items that are fired in a summary.

    Needs font and color sizes

    Table numbers could be bigger and Dine in or take out could be smaller

  9. Make label printers work like any other kitchen printer. They need to be network printers where print labels are used to fire prints. It should support both types of labels, die cut and linerless. Also, labels should be able to be printed from KDS.

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to UserVoice.

  10. Print the full order with all courses shown. The ones to be fired are shown as prepare, the course to follow show hold. This way the kitchen knows what is coming and can plan. Then the wait staff can send a re-fire to prepare the courses when needed.

  11. Currently you can Group line items for "order receipts" but this does not Group line items when printing to a Kitchen Printer. It comes out like this


    ITEM

    We'd like an option to do


    3x ITEM

  12. Orders shown on KDS should be able to snake around rather than having to scroll down. Right now they have to scroll down to see the entire order. That is not ideal for a busy restaurant They are switching from toast and they have the ability to see the entire order without having to scroll.

  14. KDS - Multiple Courses - show all the courses and firing by prep time

    Different dishes has different prep time, therefore some 2nd course dishes need to be fired at the same time as 1st course dishes.
    Some items are fulfilled quickly and can end up getting cold (or warm) while waiting for service, and other items need more time. It slows service down.

  15. Allow the Register app to be on the KDS so employees can take orders on it. Taking a quick order from KDS screen would greatly enhance our work flow by having our customer to wait less. It wouldn't need to accept the payments, but getting an order in the system so other employees could get started on would be a game changer. Then we could take payment later.

  18. There needs to be automatic alternating order numbers when using multiple workstations. Setting a prefix does very little when the last two numbers are the same. This cost us time and money to deal with this issue on almost a daily basis. I'm happy with Clover overall, but I cannot recommend to anyone due to this. It's confusing that this is still an issue since all other information is shared between all workstations. Please fix this.

  19. When a new item is added on to an existing order. The new and the old items should all be on the same slip. the new added item should be highlighted on the top and all the old items should be at the bottom. This way the kitchen knows that the new item is part of the same old order and should be packed together. this is from the prespective of a take out restaurant.

  20. When using KDS, we currently can't turn OFF printing Order Receipts. It either has to be ON (and it shows on the KDS + it prints) OR it is OFF, and it doesn't print or show on the KDS. Please allow paper Order print function to be turned OFF while still allowing the order to show up on KDS. This is really important especially in a QSR environment that does a lot of online orders with 3rd parties but does a lot of in-person pick up. We need to be able to keep the Order Printer function on for online…
