A kitchen without paper tickets
Every order at the right station, with a timer and a status
The kitchen display runs in a browser on a tablet, monitor or TV. Items route to stations — grill, cold kitchen, bar; cooks mark “preparing” and “ready”, and the POS and the guest see the status.
No card required. Paid plans are chosen in the admin — signing up does not start one.
- Items route by each dish’s station
- Timers with a “late” threshold
- The expo screen assembles orders from ready tickets

What the kitchen display does
Tickets and stations
- Stations
Items go to the grill, cold kitchen or bar by each dish’s station.
- Statuses
Accepted → preparing → ready; a ticket bumped by mistake goes back into work.
- Timers
The “late” threshold counts from the moment the order was placed.
- All-day summary
How many of each dish are in progress across the kitchen.
Expo and handoff
- Expo screen
Assembles the order from ready station tickets, with a packing checklist.
- Courier handoff
The courier confirms pickup — the handoff is recorded on the order.
- Labels
Order number and QR code on bag and item labels.
Printing and stop list
- Kitchen printing
Tickets to station printers through the bridge, with items in the kitchen’s language.
- Stop list from the kitchen
A dish runs out — the cook removes it from the storefront and POS right from the kitchen screen.
Kitchen and inventory
- Cooking times
Real time from “accepted” to “ready” by dish, station and hour; share of late tickets.
- Recipes and food cost
Dish recipes from stock ingredients, deducted on sale.

FAQ
What hardware does the kitchen display need?
Any tablet, monitor or TV with a browser. The screen is linked with a device code — no dedicated computer; ticket printing needs a station printer and the bridge.
Does the KDS work offline?
No: tickets arrive through the cloud. While offline the kitchen works from printed tickets if kitchen printing is set up, and orders reach the screen when the connection returns.
Can one kitchen have several screens?
Yes. With the station filter each screen shows its own dishes, and the expo screen assembles the full order. Your plan limits the number of devices.
Where do orders come from?
From the POS, the QR menu and storefront, the kiosk and your other channels — in one feed. By default a guest order arrives after staff accept it.
Can I print tickets instead of using a screen?
Yes, or alongside it: tickets print on station printers through the bridge, items in the kitchen’s language.
How much does it cost?
The kitchen display comes in the same plan as the POS; the price is below and on the pricing page.
