CVM
The CVM system uses standard VGA monitors to route the transaction from the cash register to a specific station in the kitchen. On the same order, the drinks could be routed to one station, while the entrees could be routed to the grill and side orders to yet a different station. The CVM system can be configured to operate from 1-5 color videos that lets several kitchen staff members simultaneously view multiple orders with easy to understand color coding for cooking instructions, additions, and deletions. Depending on your application it is also possible to connect two controllers together giving you the ability to control up to 10 videos.

The Color Video Monitor System is designed specifically for the fast-food industry. A common trouble spot in a typical operation is the failure to relay the incoming counter and drive-thru orders to kitchen staff in a timely and accurate manner. Microphone systems and various hardcopy-printing devices have been employed to help minimize the problems associated with order entry. Microphone systems rely heavily on the ability of the kitchen staff to remember both quantities and details of all pending orders, no less than a formidable task. Kitchen printing devices do deliver an increased level of accuracy, but inevitably require one worker to read the order to the others, a less-than-acceptable method.
Graphic Module
Though it’s easy to understand how beneficial the CVM system can be, it hasn’t always been easy to implement its interface with the cash register’s program.

Now, CVM Assistant Makes CVM programming a snap! It’s a graphical module that draws the correct quantity of monitors in the system, and labels them with user defined names (ie Grill Monitor, Ice Cream Monitor) so that items can be routed as easily as selecting each desired monitor with point and click simplicity. Selecting the correctly colored button can program colors of modifiers just as easily. The CVM Assistant calculates the CVM attribute automatically. Normally, the CVM is programmed at the register using attribute codes. In order to program the output to a monitor, a code must be entered. Since there are 5 possible codes per monitor, and possible 5 monitors, that makes 25 possible combinations of code. Now, with the CVM Assistant, adding new items is a breeze. All that must be done is to click on the desired monitor’s icon to toggle on or off the selected monitors. SKAN_Talk32 does the rest. It makes dealer or end-user programming of CVM monitor routing and modifier’s colors as easy as a mouse click! Setup and maintenance is greatly simplified. Users will appreciate how easily the CVM Assistant lets them take advantage of the benefits of the CVM system.
