  2. Customizing visual elements like background images, font size, and colors to match branding
  3. Choosing display templates (two-column or three-column layouts) to optimize readability
  4. Optionally showing queue numbers or order IDs for easy tracking
  5. Presenting a clean, engaging interface that enhances customer experience without exposing backend kitchen details
This profile helps improve communication transparency between kitchen and customers, reducing confusion and perceived wait times through clear, branded order updates
