SkyTab KDS v1.33 — Coming Thursday, January 15th
We’re deploying SkyTab KDS v1.33 as a required update on Thursday, January 15th, 2026. This release improves ticket clarity and alignment with POS/printed slips, and includes several important fixes.
Improvements
Consistent modifier order: KDS now displays modifiers and nested modifiers in the same order as POS and printed slips, ensuring predictable prep—even when seat grouping is involved.
Optional ticket display tweak: You can hide group/department names on KDS tickets while keeping the blue grouping band. (Available by request—contact Support to enable.)
Bug Fixes
Bilingual modifier wrapping: Fixed an issue where tickets with long bilingual (English/Chinese) modifier names didn’t wrap properly across columns, which could hide item/modifier details.
Merge screen filter: Corrected the Merge view to show only tickets sharing the same ticket ID.
Special Requests scaling: Special Requests text now scales correctly when you adjust the KDS app text size.
What to expect
The update will be deployed the morning of January 15th. Please be sure to accept the update on all KDS devices.
To ensure a smooth update, please keep KDS devices powered on and connected overnight.
Thanks for choosing SkyTab,
