The KDS left-side menu can be accessed by logging into the KDS application and tapping the Appetize logo/KDS name in the upper left corner. 

Pending tab

The KDS Pending tab shows all the pending orders. If you click on a specific pending order, you can either set the order to In Process or Completed. If you click In Process, it will let the system know that the order is being made. If you click Completed, it will push the order from the Pending page to the Completed page.
