Configuring KDS or Dining Course Colors and Images for Table Management

You can set a color or image to indicate the KDS or dining course that the table is being serviced under. Then you can specify an event (bump or service total) which triggers the image to be updated.

  1. Select the Enterprise or property, click Descriptors, and then click KDS/Dining Course.
  2. Insert dining course records if they do not exist.
  3. In the Course Color field, select a color for each dining course name.

    This color appears as the dining course indicator on the table image in the workstation. For example, appetizers can be green, entrées can be yellow, and desserts can be red.

  4. (Optional) From the Course Image Name field, select a the course decorator image to represent the dining course (in place of a course color). The image you select replaces the default Occupied image on the table. To remove a Course Image that was previously set, select 0 - None, and then click OK.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Select the Enterprise, property, or revenue center, click Setup, and then click TMS Parameters.
  7. To update the KDS or dining course on the table image after the workstation operator bumps the menu from the KDS:
    1. Select the Enterprise, property, or revenue center, click Setup, and then click TMS Parameters.
    2. On the Configuration tab, select Update Table On KDS Bump Event.

      This option determines when the dining course updates on the host page table image.

      Deselect this option to update the KDS or dining course on the table image after the workstation operator performs a service total.

  8. Click Save.
