I've also repeatedly asked them to add at least another screen. As a former coder, it can't be all that difficult to do. It seems the code is already there, just needs to be replicated. 

Anyone want to buy the program with me?

Hi!  With the new version of Fresh KDS (released June 2018) you can add up to 10 screens, and there are several viewing options to make the KDS fit into your existing operations.

We have a dedicated team of developers continuously adding new features, and we also have a feature request form on the Fresh KDS Website.

Check it out.  And please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional comments or questions.

Best,

Andrew & The Fresh KDS Team

I've been begging for this for years. FreshKDS does absolutely no development in the past 2-3 years that I've had them. And now the new Square Register that just came out isnt even compatible with FreshKDS. Which makes Square one of the only POS companies that doesnt support a kitchen display. 

When did it stop being compatible? I've been using it daily with iPad register and Android kitchen display. I did update to the most recent IOS but my square app is updated and current. 

The new square register that runs on android. 

Hi @Theharrisburger 

Since the new Square Register runs on Android, it won't be compatible with Fresh KDS.

Fresh KDS only works with payments taken on iPad iOS, so @Jace91 is correct here. 

Hopefully we can get something rolled out to help with this soon.

Makes sense, I've been using the iPad with Android as my display. I wish there were more options available than kds. They don't care much about the system or customers it seems. 

At the  price point of the new register it really should not have been released without a working KDS in my opinion. And in speaking with FreshKDS they’ve been saying support for register running on android has been “on the road map with no eta” for a couple years now. 

That's definitely feedback that I'll take back to our Register team @Jace91

I'll chime back in if anything new comes about. 

This was almost a deal breaker for us also... Fresh KDS Support flat out told me that they will not be developing compatibility with Square for Android, ever. 

Ended up buying a ticket printer instead, which works, but adds unnecessary service time to our setup.

So I have just started using Square for a client of mine. I am going to be building a kitchen display soloution myself. At the moment this will be primarily designed for the takeaway restaurant. However I have every intention of making it as generic/customiseable as pobbile.

Happy to post moppre information here once this would be available.

Does anyone have any specific requirements/features they'd want from a kitchen display system?

I like fresh kds, but the maximum number of 10 tickets is way too small. 20 would be nice!

Awesome thanks for the info. I’ll add that to the list of features. 

Yes! So glad to hear you will be making a KDS program. Would you like to combine forces? I have 17 years of web development experience and would love to collaborate. The list of ideas I’ve jotted down is tremendous and I use this program every!

Hi could do. I’ve not thought too much about the entire system yet. Just know that I want/need to build s decent kitchen display system. 

If if you have ideas I’d love to keep in touch. 

That would be great!  We currently have a 22" kitchen display in one of our restaurants that I would like to switch to Square, but the Fresh KDS recommendation for a 10" tablet is not practical, and certainly not the limit of 10 orders.  Larger Android tablets exist....I frankly thought that was the only reason Fresh KDS runs on Android and not iOS.
