the module is activated and the necessary characteristics for it to
work have been verified, we will be able to prepare the products so that
if you want to maintain better control of the sending of orders, the
following video shows the creation of a product and the filling of new
fields added by the module of orders monitor:
a). Monitor:
NEW, which allows us to configure if we want the product to be sent to a
specific monitor screen, regardless of the category to which it
belongs.
b). Dish type: NEW, it allows to place by default the type of dish to which the product belongs, to keep a better control of the order in which we prepare it or offer it to the client when completing the order, in the same way form can be modified when sending the order to the monitors.
c) Tags: EXISTENT, its choice allows to classify in which monitor the product will be displayed if field a). Monitor has not been configured. When creating the monitors, the categories that will be displayed are placed, a point that will be observed in the following video.

we proceed to create the monitors that we need according to the
business, the following video shows the creation of a monitor for the
Bar area and the category or categories of products that must appear in
it are added, remember that if in the product a specific monitor was
configured it will be taken as priority.
5. After
creating the monitors we can proceed to test the functionality, it is
important that the Bar Restaurant feature mentioned in point 2, are
active, the usual TakePOS procedure is done, a table is selected, the
products are added and to send the orders to the monitors, click on the
"Send Order" or "Send Order" button, which will show the selection of
products with the options of quantity, type of dish and at the end the
order is sent receiving a success message, such as looks like below:
6. The
monitor works in real time, which means that when an order is sent, it
will be displayed automatically on the screens or monitors that are
open, the following video shows an example:
7. Being
a real-time functionality, it allows you to keep several open monitors
for the same area or monitor as required, then you can see how multiple
open screens for the same monitor are updated in real time.

prepared for delivery, this function is also done in real time, as shown
