Set up Order Confirmation Screen
About Order Confirmation Screen
Order Confirmation Screen (OCS) is a customer-facing display that shows drive-thru orders in real time as you enter them on your POS. It helps customers confirm their orders for improved accuracy. OCS displays whatever is in the cart in real time, regardless of fulfillment method.
Customers can see items and modifiers as you select them, quantities and prices, combos and included choices, item notes, discounts, coupons and promos, and subtotal, tax, and total.
Before you begin
You'll need Restaurant (F&B) POS mode enabled on your device, a Premium subscription, Nanonation/The Howard Company OCS hardware installed and powered on, and your POS and OCS connected to the same local network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
OCS uses TCP socket communication and may require specific port allowlisting on Android devices. Settings are stored locally on each POS device and must be configured individually.
A single POS can't connect to multiple OCS screens.
OCS doesn't work with SPOS.
Step 1: Get OCS network details from Nanonation
Sign in to CommandPoint at https://cp.nanonation.net/ using the credentials from your OCS vendor.
From the left menu, go to Digital Signage > Dashboard.
Find your OCS device in the player list, then double-click it to open its details.
-
In Details/Custom fields, note these values:
IP address (example: 192.168.1.100)
Port (example: 8080)
Lane identifier (a UUID or lane ID, example: lane-1)
You'll enter these values on your Square POS in the next step.
Step 2: Connect your POS to the OCS
On your POS, open Settings.
Tap Hardware.
In Connect and manage, select Order Confirmation Screen.
-
In OCS settings, enter the values from CommandPoint:
Host address: OCS IP address
Port: OCS port
Lane identifier: Lane UUID or lane name
Tap Connect to save your settings.
Tap Send test message to verify that the POS can reach the OCS.
If the test message fails, double-check the IP, port, and lane ID, then update the values and test again. If connection fails during normal operation, you'll see a status bar notification but can continue taking orders.
Step 3: Test your OCS setup
After connecting:
From your POS, start a test order.
Add items, modifiers, and discounts.
Watch the OCS screen to confirm it updates in real time as you edit the cart.
If the OCS mirrors the cart on your POS, your setup is complete.
Use multi-device and multi-lane setups
You can use OCS across different POS devices and drive-thru lanes.
