Customer screen & pickup board
A spare monitor or tablet, turned to face the guest: it shows the order as you ring it up, and — for counter service — calls orders out when the kitchen is done.
The customer screen
A second screen facing the guest, showing each item and the running total as the cashier adds it. Between sales it shows whatever you choose — your logo, a slideshow, or a video.
- Turn it on under Settings → Customer display.
- Set what shows when nothing is being rung up: a video, a slideshow of images, or your logo and a headline. If you set more than one, the video wins, then the slideshow, then the logo.
- On the POS, tap Customer screen. FoodFlow opens it on your second monitor if it can see one, and in a pop-up window otherwise — drag that to the other screen and full-screen it.
Paying by QR on the customer screen
When you take a PromptPay payment, the QR appears on the guest's screen at full size with the amount already in it — they scan it where they are standing instead of leaning over the till. The code is drawn on that screen itself rather than mirrored across as a picture, so it stays sharp enough to scan first time.
The pickup board
For counter service, where a guest orders, pays and waits: the board shows order numbers moving from Preparing to Ready, so nobody has to be called by name across a room.
- Turn on Settings → Counter service so a counter sale fires its items to the kitchen the moment it is rung up, rather than waiting to be sent.
- Open the order-status board on the screen your guests can see, and put it full-screen.
- The kitchen marks items ready as usual — see Kitchen display — and the board follows.
What hardware you need
Any screen the till computer can drive — a cheap monitor, an old TV over HDMI, or a tablet running a second browser window on the same machine. Both screens are just web pages, so there is nothing to install.
