In the sidebar this is called “Picking”. In Store it’s the same screen a restaurant calls “Kitchen”, renamed for packing rather than cooking. It’s meant to stay open on a tablet while someone packs orders.
Setting it up (/dashboard/kitchen)
This configuration screen is in Spanish
The setup screen at /dashboard/kitchen is shown in Spanish regardless of your browser language. Here’s what each button means.
For each location you’ll see:
- “Crear acceso” (Create access) — or “Generar un enlace nuevo” (Generate a new link) if you already had one — creates the
/kds/<token>link to open on the tablet. - “Última vez abierta” (Last opened) — when that link was last used.
- “Mostrar las ventas del TPV” / “Ocultar las ventas del TPV” (Show / Hide till sales) — to also see sales made directly at your Loyverse till on the same screen.
- “Phone alerts” → “Alert me on this device” (this box does show in English) — rings when a new order comes into this location, even with the Picking screen closed.
A new link cancels the old one
The Prep screen link is the key: it asks for no password. If you lose it or switch tablets, generate a new one and the old one stops working instantly.
The screen itself (/kds/<token>)
This screen follows the device’s own language, so it shows in English on an English phone or tablet. Title “Order prep”, with the “In progress” column and a “Print order ticket” button for each order.
Printing works with a thermal printer through the Android prep app, or with your browser’s own print dialog.
An order appears once it's paid
Loyverse doesn’t announce open tickets at the till: an order only shows up here once it has actually been paid.
Delivery wording on shipped orders
If an order ships to the customer’s home, you may see buttons with courier wording (“Request a driver”, “Handed to the driver”) inherited from the screen shared with Yammbo POS, even though Store has no own couriers. To mark the order as delivered, use the Orders flow in the dashboard instead.
