When waiters use one of the "Print for kitchen" options from their own device, the kitchen device does this printing. For this option you need an android device and a printer in the kitchen.

Select the "Print from kitchen device" option from the print settings with the administrator user. You can also select "Print when saved" if you want to print it in the kitchen when the waiter saves the order. Select this printer for the kitchen from the Printers section.

Why should I use this option?

1- If the distance between the kitchen and the waiters is too far for bluetooth/wifi, we strongly recommend you to use this option. In this option, the distance is not important as the kitchen device will do the printing.

2- If you frequently print from many Anroid devices for the kitchen, we strongly recommend you to use this option. The kitchen device prints sequentially by queuing the print jobs.

Using this option requires you to use different printers for each kitchen.

When a new order is created or modified from one device, an instant message is sent to other devices in your restaurant. In this way, the data on the device screen is automatically refreshed.

We use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for instant messaging. Usually the message reaches other devices instantly. There is rarely a delay.

If you are having trouble with this, you can try the steps below.

* Turn your Android device off and on again. This works in some cases.

* Make sure you allow background data in android app settings (For all your android devices). The default value is "on".

* If battery saver mode is on, it may cause this.

* You can try uninstalling the application and reinstalling it. This way the application will receive a new FCM token.

* If there are many tasks running in the background on your device, it may cause delays.

* There may be a delay when you first turn on your Android device. It's normal.

* You can try with a different internet connection. There may be a problem with your Internet connection that prevents you from receiving messages from FCM. This is not about how fast or slow your internet connection is.
