The Kitchen Display has no sound or goes to sleep

Updated October 2, 2026

A kitchen board is only useful if you notice new orders. These fixes cover the common problems.

No chime

  1. Make sure sound isn't muted with the mute button on the display.
  2. Tap anywhere on the screen once. Browsers only allow sound after you've interacted with the page.
  3. Check the tablet's volume and that it isn't in silent mode.

The screen goes to sleep

  1. Use the fullscreen toggle. The display then asks the device to stay awake.
  2. Keep the tablet plugged in.
  3. In the tablet's settings, set the screen timeout to the longest option.

Orders look stale

  1. Check the tablet's internet connection.
  2. Refresh the page. The display reloads your current orders.
  3. Make sure the tablet is signed in to the right café.

Tip: Use a dedicated tablet for the kitchen so it isn't interrupted by other apps.
