POS Lavu kitchen printer

Kitchen Printer Redirects are preconfigured, printer selections, for orders which provide the server with an option to select an alternate printer to send orders. These alternate printer options are selectable via the app and eliminate the need to change the printer configuration for the entire system from Printer Setup (app side) or the Admin Control Panel. This action is performed on a per device basis and will be available in Lavu POS version 2.3.11.Example Use-caseA large restaurant has two bars; Main Bar and Patio Bar.Main Bar is covered by the default configuration:
