How to setup your iPad for the best experience with DS

Addmi DS (Display System)

All you need to run Addmi DS is an iPad, with a minimum iOS of 11. It is good to dedicate your iPad to DS only, so that you never miss an incoming order. If the DS app is in the background, you will not receive the notifications of new orders until you bring the app to the front.


Recommended iPad Settings for Addmi DS:

  • Turn the volume all the way up to hear the incoming order sound in a busy environment
  • Set your iPad to never go into 'sleep' mode. This is important so that you do not miss an incoming order
    • Go to iPad Settings > Display > Autolock and set it to 'Never' 
  • Keep your iPad plugged in and the DS app open during business hours to never miss an order


DS Settings:

In Addmi DS app, go to Settings > Addmi Display System

  • Turn on the Station(s) you want to display
  • This can be a combination of Stations
  • Any Items not assigned to a Station will be displayed when Default Station is selected



Customize:

You can select which attributes of your Orders are displayed for each iPad Station.

Settings > Addmi Display System > Customize


Show Order Information

This setting shows the customer name and order number. Deselect this if viewing this information is unnecessary on a station. 


Show Modifier Set Titles

Displays Modifier Set titles when they are set up. 


Show Category Titles

This will show the Category Title above each group of Items


Show Other Stations for Order

This setting displays Items on the same order that are NOT assigned to the selected Station.

Turn this OFF to only display Items assigned to this Station.


Group Dine In Orders by Table Name

This setting will put any Dine In order placed from the same QR code scan on the same Order Ticket in Addmi DS.

Uncheck this box to display individual orders from the same Dine In QR code on their own, separate tickets. 



Behavior:

This setting will change the behavior of one iPad to affect how other stations items are fulfilled. By selecting "Fulfill for all Stations", fulfillment of an order from that iPad will fulfill all items across the other iPads.



Other Settings:


Display a Fulfillments Summary Bar

Enabling this feature allows the user to filter orders on the ADS based on specific item(s). Selecting the items from the bottom of the screen will highlight those items and fade unselected items. 


Manually Accept Online Orders

Enabling this setting will require a user to "Start" online orders that are received from the Addmi DS. Once enabled, you are able to add an audio notification that is triggered after a set amount of time. 

(Due to all Addmi DS's needing to respect this setting, it can only be set from the backend dashboard.)
