Alternate Workstation for Kiosk Orders

(Maitre'D 2003, from Service Pack 10 and later versions of 2003)
(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 2 and later versions of 2005)
To send orders from different Kiosks to different kitchen printers, you can specify an alternate workstation for orders coming from a particular Kiosk then the workstation defined to handle Pre-Orders in Delivery / View / Options.
 

To use another workstation, under the C:\Posera\MaitreD\Data directory, in the [Miscellaneous] section of the Bo.ini file, add the following configuration key and value:

AlternatedPreOrder=N

where N is the number of a workstation in the same area as the Kiosk, but different then the one handling other Pre-Orders.

Note: To trigger the use of the alternate workstation, the Kiosk must also send a PrintPOS configuration key with the same alternate target workstation number value in the XML file.
Note: When modifying the Bo.ini, first stop the Server through Server Control, then exit both the Server Control and P.O.S. Control modules, modify the Bo.ini Configuration Key and Value, and only then start the Server again before redoing workstation data.
