Bump-it
Product · v6.0

Everything on the screen. Nothing that isn't.

Ten years of building against real production areas. Every setting below exists because a venue asked for it — and the ones that didn't earn their place aren't here.

Two screens, one subscription

The line makes it. The pass sends it.

  • Bump screen

    Where the work happens

    Dockets land, age and clear. Bump, hold, combine, batch or undo — whatever that station is allowed to do.

    • Grill
    • Coffee
    • Bar
    • Larder
  • Pass screen

    Where it goes out

    The same orders, read-only or with its own permissions, so whoever is calling away sees the whole board without touching the line's screen.

    Included. One subscription covers a bump screen and a pass screen — the pass is never billed separately.

  • Customer display

    Display-It, out front

    Turn on Show On Customer Display and a bumped order's name appears on the screen your customers can see. Your own images in the rotation.

    It shows what's ready — not a countdown you'd have to defend.

Filters

A screen only shows what that station cooks.

A filter decides what reaches a screen and how it behaves there. Seven tabs, set once per station, changed whenever the menu does.

The main tab. Docket count, whether to group by category or course, three separate font sizes, and the Bump All button — set once for this station.

  • How many dockets

    Set the count to suit the screen you've actually got on the wall, and whether long dockets should keep going.

  • Group by category or course

    The quick action bar follows your choice, so the chips across the top match how that station thinks.

  • Font sizes, three ways

    Product, note and statistics sizes set separately — because the grill reads from further away than the barista.

  • Alerts, three thresholds

    First alert, second alert, and a separate one for held dockets. Coffee runs 2 and 4; the kitchen runs 8 and 15.

  • Products, ticked by hand

    Expand a category and tick what belongs. Turn on auto-add and new products from the POS come through on their own.

  • Registers and order types

    Leave them untouched and everything shows. Tick to narrow it — one screen for drive-thru, another for dine in.

From support

The single most common reason an order doesn't appear on a screen is a product that was never ticked under Filters. It's the first thing we check, and it takes about ten seconds to fix.

On the screen

Five gestures cover a whole service.

BUMP

Tap it, swipe it, or clear the item outright

Bumped items strike through; press again and they come back. Turn on the Bump All button and a tick sits beside each product — one tap clears every unit of it, so five flat whites go in one motion instead of five.

HOLD

Park a table without losing it

A held docket shows its note in blue with a hold count in front of it, so you can see it's been parked twice. Unhold and it returns to position one with the timer back to green.

COMBINE

Make four espressos at once, not two and two

Combining merges quantities across dockets — two and two becomes 4× Espresso on one card. Undo separates them again; Exit backs out without touching anything.

UNBUMP

Bring back an order that went early

Open it in Order History and press Unbump. It's a permission, not a free-for-all — only screens you've given Can Undo to can do it.

HISTORY

Past, current and upcoming — with a re-print

Order title, register, when it was bumped, and a re-print against each one. Nobody walks back to the point of sale, and nothing lives on a spike.

Devices

Each screen gets its own rules.

A device is added on the device itself — walk up to the tablet and add it there, so you can't accidentally register the office laptop. Then decide what that station is allowed to do.

Can Bump is on by default. Everything else is a deliberate choice, which is how you stop a junior unbumping half a service.

Device permissions

  • Can Bump DEFAULT ON
  • Can Hold Off by default
  • Can Combine Off by default
  • Can Batch Off by default
  • Can Undo Off by default
  • Device independent bumping Off by default

Our recommendation: bump · hold · combine · undo

The rest of it

Details that only matter once you're busy.

  • Themes

    Dark, light, colour-blind

    Switch from the screen itself. Colour-blind mode moves the bump buttons from green to blue.

  • Scheduled orders

    Pre-orders arrive when you want them

    Set a pre-order delay in minutes, plus an extra delay per docket so twenty online orders don't land at once.

  • Connection

    You'll know before you're told

    A red banner if the server drops, green when it's back. Dockets already on screen stay put — you keep cooking.

  • Statistics

    Counts by category or course

    A live sidebar of what's outstanding, grouped how that station groups things, or switched off entirely.

  • Admin portal

    We can see what your POS sent

    Order logs record when your POS raised an order and when it reached us. If there's a gap, we can tell you which side it happened on.

  • Platforms

    iOS, Android and the browser

    Use the tablets you already own. Nothing to rack, nothing to wire, no proprietary hardware to buy.

Straight up

Your point of sale is the single source of truth, so dockets can't be edited on the screen. Full coursing for high-end dining isn't there yet either — called-away notifications and moving dockets are. We'd rather you knew now than found out in week two.

See it running on your own menu.

Link your point of sale and your products come down as they are. Fifteen minutes and you'll know.
