Kitchen Display System (KDS)
Replace paper tickets with real-time digital kitchen order screens.
Replace fragile paper tickets with station-based kitchen screens that organize dine-in, QR, kiosk, online, and delivery orders in real time. Prep teams see the right items, timers, modifiers, and ready status without chasing front-of-house notes.
Built for real kitchen pressure
KDS gives kitchen teams a clear operating screen for order priority, prep stages, station ownership, and front-of-house coordination.
Station routing
Send food, drink, dessert, and prep items to the right station automatically.
Prep timers
Track ticket age, urgency, and service timing with color-coded visual states.
Modifier clarity
Show add-ons, notes, allergies, substitutions, and course details with every item.
Bump controls
Move tickets through preparing, ready, served, delayed, and completed states.
FOH status sync
Keep cashiers and servers updated when items are accepted, delayed, or ready.
Printer fallback
Support thermal tickets where stations still need printed backup or labels.
Orders move cleanly through prep
Every channel can feed the same kitchen rhythm, from order capture to station prep, expo validation, and guest handoff.
Receive tickets
Dine-in, QR, kiosk, online, and delivery orders arrive in the proper station queue.
Prioritize prep
Timers and order type labels help teams identify urgent, delayed, and scheduled items.

Separate prep areas can work independently while expo sees the combined order.

Teams can surface delayed tickets before they become service problems.
