Casting KDS / Bump Screen Orders to a TV

 

Casting KDS / Bump Screen Orders to a Smart TV

I get a lots of questions about showing orders on a larger displays, as this allows staff to view orders and their status from a distance, therefore adding efficiency to any kitchen operation or café, barista etc.

As long as you're on the same wi-fi network you can cast from any device that supports Chromecast, typically Chrome or Edge browsers. It's one of the advantages of using SplitAbility POS (a true cloud system).

Setting up the Chromecast device is fairly simple, just plug it into the TV's HDMI port, power it up, install the Google Home app on your phone or tablet then follow the instructions to enable the Chromecast device. Presto! You can "Cast" from any device on the same wi-fi network.

From Chrome just hit the three vertical dots and there's the "Cast..." menu. If your using Edge, we hit the three dots (…) - "More Tools" - "Cast Media to Device" - Select the device. The TV itself here is not a touch screen but any other POS touch devices replicate on the large screen.

The demonstration video show how to set up and view KDS (Kitchen Display System) / Bump Screen Orders on a Smart TV using Google Chromecast. Ordering from an iPad, even though it's a entirely separate device the operation is synced as you can see orders are are displayed.

It demonstrates:

• Setting up Google Chromecast
• Casting from a laptop
