Setup & Installation

Install Selflane Displays and choose a kitchen or packing screen for this device. Use iOS 15.1 or later, or Android 7.0 or later.

Download the app

iOS

Download Selflane Displays from the App Store .

Android

Download the latest Android build from selflane.com/apps .

Since the Android version is distributed outside of the Google Play Store, you will need to allow installation from unknown sources:

  1. Download the APK file from the link above
  2. Open the downloaded file on your Android device
  3. If prompted, go to Settings > Install unknown apps and allow your browser or file manager to install apps
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation

Sign in

  1. Open the Selflane Displays app
  2. Continue to the hosted sign-in page and use your Selflane account, Google, or Apple sign-in.
  3. Select the business you want to display orders for.
  4. Choose Kitchen Display or Prep Display in the display picker.

The device remembers your choice. It opens straight to that display every time the app starts, and the picker doesn’t show again. To switch, tap the Hub icon in the display header, then tap Continue in Change display. Each device keeps its own choice.

Subscription requirement

Selflane Displays requires the Displays add-on. Without it, both tiles in the display picker are locked and show Subscription required, and the picker says there is nothing to assign this device to. A device already set to a display shows Please subscribe to the KDS to continue instead of orders. An owner can manage access in the Back Office : open Plan & Billing → Manage Plan → Add-Ons and review Displays access.

Selflane Displays works on supported iOS and Android versions, but for the best kitchen experience we recommend:

  • Tablet — a 10” or larger screen for comfortable viewing at a distance
  • Mounting — a wall or shelf mount to keep the display visible and out of the way of food prep
  • Power — keep the device plugged in, as the always-on display will drain battery quickly

Before you start

Make sure the following are configured in your Back Office or POS settings:

  • Station numbers — assign station numbers to your POS devices so orders can be filtered by station on the display
  • Print targets — set up kitchen printer targets (Kitchen, Kitchen 2/3/4, Bar, Label) so dishes route to the correct display
  • Order types — ensure your order types (Dine In, Pick Up, Delivery, Drive-Thru, Curbside, and QR Code) are configured, as the display color-codes orders by type
