KP Hold function
This function holds all the ordered items from being sent to the Kitchen Printer until a transaction is stored or
finalized, and then upon a release request, sends all items to be printed on one docket (even to be sorted by KP
category). This function helps to serve the same category foods at the same time to all the people of the group.
For example, 3 customers occupy the same table, but even if each person orders his/her own meal, say, from
starter to dessert one by one, they will have starters at the same time.
