When you get a new order, new row in database table appears. Set it's confirmed = 0 and when staff refreshes the page (or JS does that every minute) they would see the new order. As for IP restriction - why would you want this? Cake's got it's auth, so there's no need to add IP restriction.
As for login that doesn't timeout, create a "ajax pinger", which loads a page every X minutes to refresh the session info.
