# Introduction

The iOrder or Kiosk is a consumer-facing food ordering system that allows customers to place their own food service orders.

Each iOrder Station consists of a Ruby2 iOrder Food Service Kiosk and a Confirmation Printer. The iOrder System directs all food orders to either a single Kitchen Printer or one or more Kitchen Display System (KDS) Stations for order completion.

{% hint style="info" %}
KDS is an optional component of iOrder and has its own specific requirements. Installation and configuration documentation is posted on the Premier Portal under: Petro Downloads > iOrder Kiosk > Kitchen Display System (KDS) with iOrder Installation Guide.
{% endhint %}

At order completion, the Kiosk prints a confirmation receipt with a barcode and sends the order to the kitchen for preparation. It also stages the order at the Point of Sales (POS) Site Controller for payment. At the POS terminal, the barcode can be scanned to bring one or more Kiosk orders into a transaction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/hardware-products/hardware/petroleum-devices/ruby/ruby2-iorder-hardware-installation-guide/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
