Kitchen display
A live board for the pass — fired tickets, bump and recall.
1 min read1 guides in this topic
The kitchen display (KDS) shows fired tickets in real time, grouped by course, so the kitchen always knows what to cook next.
How it works
- Open it from the POS menu › Kitchen. Tickets appear the instant a server fires an order, oldest first.
- A Cooking column and a Ready to serve column track progress at a glance (a single station shows Done here).
- Press Ready when a ticket is done and Serve when it leaves the pass; Recall brings one back if it went too early.
- Pick a station under Stations, or All stations. The card style (timer chip, big timer or one rail) is set under POS › Settings › Layout.
What's on a ticket
- Table and course, the items with quantity, chosen variant and add-ons.
- Removed ingredients (“NO onion”) and the line note, so the cook never guesses.
- Voids arrive as a clearly marked VOID ticket — the kitchen knows to stop.
- Guest-request lines are flagged, so the pass knows a guest sent them from the QR menu.
Stations
- Route dishes to the right screen — hot, cold, bar — with kitchen stations (see Kitchen stations & routing).
- Each station's display shows only its own items from every ticket.
TipOpen the kitchen display on a dedicated screen at the pass. It stays in sync across every paired device in the branch.
