P-000121-05 — Version / Payload Compatibility Check (Mixed Versions)

← Back

Goal
Catch cases where KDS silently ignores updates due to payload mismatch.

Steps
1) Confirm KDS app version/build and compare against store server / KDS feed version.
2) If any KDS station is on a different version than others, align versions.
3) If a recent update was applied:

  • Roll forward (update lagging KDS stations), or
  • Roll back (if the new payload broke older clients), depending on your standard.
    4) Retest with a known-new order.
    5) If still failing after version alignment:
  • Treat as upstream feed/log issue and escalate with logs + timestamps.

Artifacts to Capture for Escalation

  • Time of last order shown on KDS
  • Time of newest order missing
  • KDS version/build
  • Whether clock/animations were updating during the failure
  • Whether all stations failed or only one
