Increased Station ID Limit
- Expanded station ID maximum from 99 to 999 to support large clients with extensive station setups.
Condiment & Modifier Database
- Added a dedicated database for condiments and modifiers, similar to the existing item router.
- Added the option “Add received condiments to database automatically”
- Condiments are now categorized under "Groups."
- New tab options for "Items," "Condiments," and "Modifiers."
- Import/export functionality now includes condiments and modifiers.
- Backwards compatibility ensures older imports function correctly.
Order Transfer Enhancements
- When transferring an order or item to another station:
- Queue display now updates the status to “Being Prepared.”
- SMS notifications trigger correctly when applicable.
- Expo station now displays a transfer action icon on affected orders.
New "Parked Orders" Tab
- A new tab in the tab display for managing parked orders.
- Users can view, manage, and unpark orders from the tab.
- Orders show timers indicating parking duration.
- Option to bump or unpark orders directly.
Runner by Fire
- Orders now do not appear on prep stations unless they are fired from the runner station.
- Items fired individually will appear only when fired.
- Once bumped, an order remains hidden until the next item is fired.
Router Database Sorting:
- Sorting options added: A-Z, Z-A, oldest-newest, newest-oldest.
- Sorting works for groups, modifiers, items, condiments, and modifier levels.
Advanced Logging option
- SETTINGS> LOG> LOGMODE> ADVANCED. Premium currently brings in “basic” log data including pulling devices from the database. For stores with large device history this may cause the KDS to crash and freeze. This data has been moved from the basic log to the advanced log for troubleshooting.
Use Unique ID instead of MAC
- When using a device with Android greater than 10, the serial number will be a random number after each reboot or login which will not match the corresponding serial it used at licensing activation logged in the kdsgo.com site. When adding a device for the first time, select this option as a workaround for devices greater than Android 10.
Disable Bump Option
- New setting prevents manual bumping, allowing only other stations or autobump to move orders. SETTINGS> BUMPING SETTINGS> DISABLE BUMPING
Enhancements & Improvements
Visual & User Experience Improvements
- New Order Flash: Orders now flash yellow by default when received. The flash duration is configurable.

- "Enable Buildcard Touch Button" Renamed: Now labeled "Enable Recipe Touch Button."

- Active Stations Dialog: Bottom line of the dialog now renders properly.
