WP InPlate glossary: KDS, fulfillment window, delivery zone, TV slot, continuity mode, QR table and other terms from the documentation.

Applies to WP InPlate 1.35.2 · Updated:

Allergens not filled in – a dish with no allergen ticked and without the “Contains none of the allergens” field. Customers see no allergen information for it, not “no allergens”. See Allergens.

Archive – the KDS view with delivered and cancelled orders. The last 7 days by default.

Allergen chart – a table of dishes and their allergens with a legend of numbers, to show on your website and print. See Allergen chart.

TV badge – a colored label next to a dish on a TV screen, e.g. “Promotion”. Not to be confused with a product tag.

Cross-sell – “goes well with” product suggestions after a dish is added to the cart.

InPlate dish – a dish with an active date range (from – to), e.g. a daily dish, a soup of the day, a lunch, a burger of the week. WP InPlate creates a WooCommerce product for it automatically.

Order deadline – the “to” time in the order-taking hours, i.e. the last moment to place an order.

Variant set (size set) – a named list of sizes, e.g. “Pizza sizes”: 32 cm, 40 cm. You assign it to categories or products and enter the sizes' prices in the price table. See Sizes and variants.

Variant (size) – a version of a dish with its own price, e.g. Margherita 40 cm. In WooCommerce it is a variation of a variable product.

Delivery surcharge – an amount the customer pays on top of the delivery cost when the cart is below the zone's minimum.

Add-ons – choices and extra charges for a dish: sauces, how well done, extra cheese, a deposit.

KDS (Kitchen Display System) – the kitchen screen with live orders, at /wp-inplate/kds/.

TV launcher – the /wp-inplate/tv/ page where you choose the screen to open on a TV.

Fulfillment method – the way the customer gets the order: pickup, delivery, eating in or a QR table.

Sales panel – the WooCommerce menu in the WordPress dashboard. WP InPlate renames it from “WooCommerce” to “Sales panel”. The store, payment, shipping and email settings are in Sales panel → Settings.

Order minimum – the minimum order value: for delivery it is set in the zone, for the other methods it is a shared amount in the settings.

Fulfillment window – the times a customer can order pickup, delivery or a meal to eat in for.

Grace period – 14 days after a paid license expires, during which all features work.

Operator – a staff member with a WordPress account and WP InPlate permissions (the “InPlate Operator” role).

Packaging fee – a fixed amount added to the order depending on the fulfillment method, e.g. for pickup and delivery.

Permission profile – a ready-made set of permissions: Cook, Courier, Cashier, Manager.

PWA – a web app you install from the browser on the home screen of a tablet or phone. The KDS, the courier app and the radio are PWAs.

Slot – a block on a TV screen whose dishes you set in TV Manager.

Delivery checker – a window where customers check whether you deliver to their address before they start ordering.

Delivery zone – an area on a map (a circle or a polygon) with its own fee and minimum.

Add-on template – a set of add-ons assigned to categories or many products at once.

Continuity mode – the state after the grace period: orders work, while configuration changes, TV, the radio, the shift summary and labels are paused.

On-the-road mode – how the courier app behaves when the courier has orders on the way: new orders give a short sound instead of an alarm.

TV Manager – the /wp-inplate/tv-manager/ app for managing the dishes on TV screens.

Dish type – a kind of InPlate dish, e.g. “Daily dish”, with its own tab and WooCommerce category.

Delivery window – a time range shown to the customer for delivery instead of a single time, e.g. 12:45–13:15.

Pausing orders – a button in the KDS that temporarily stops taking orders (all channels or selected ones) without changing the schedule.

Shift (shift summary) – the KDS view with statistics on orders, revenue and people's work in the chosen period.

Product tag – a product tag, optionally with an icon, e.g. “Vegan”, shown in the menu and on TV screens.

Courier return – an order the courier couldn't deliver. It waits for the manager's decision in the KDS.
