Kitchen and front-of-house screens (tablets)

How to pair and use the two screens dedicated to the tablets — kitchen and front-of-house — without using up a team account.

Winslor offers two screens designed for your tablets: the kitchen screen and the service screen. They operate without an administrator account — so you do not use up any team licences. Everything is set up via ‘Restaurant Settings’.

Pairing a tablet

  1. Open ‘Restaurant Settings’ on your usual workstation.
  2. Generate the QR code (or link) for the screen you wish to set up — kitchen or front-of-house.
  3. On the tablet, scan the QR code or open the link: the tablet will pair automatically.

Pairing is based on a unique rotating token for each screen: there is no password to enter on the tablet and no account to create.

The kitchen screen

Designed for front-of-house and back-of-house staff, it displays only what the kitchen needs to prepare the dishes.

  • It shows ONLY the orders to be prepared — no amounts or customer details.
  • You progress each order through the stages: received → being prepared → ready.
  • A beep sounds with each new order, and the screen remains lit at all times.

The kitchen cannot finalise an order at the counter that has not yet been paid for: it displays ‘to be paid at the counter’. Payment is then taken via the service screen or in the admin panel.

The service screen

It is a comprehensive front-of-house terminal, designed for the team responsible for welcoming guests and handling payments.

  • Orders are displayed along with their prices.
  • You take orders at the counter directly from the screen.
  • The seating plan is viewable in read-only mode.
  • Today’s bookings are available: you can seat a customer or finalise a booking.

Securing your screens

If a tablet is lost or a link has been disclosed, regenerate the token for the relevant screen in ‘Restaurant Settings’: all tablets that have already been paired will be disconnected instantly. You will then simply need to re-pair the tablets you wish to keep.
