Paper tickets get lost, smudged and out of order, and the kitchen pays for it in wrong dishes and slow service. A kitchen display system (KDS)<\/strong> puts every order on a live screen at the pass, colour-coded and timed, so your team always knows what to cook, in what order, and how long it has taken.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is a kitchen display system (KDS)?<\/h2>\n\n\n

A kitchen display system is a digital screen that replaces printed kitchen dockets. Orders from every channel, dine-in, QR<\/a>, kiosk<\/a>, takeaway and delivery, appear instantly on the KDS the moment they are placed, so the kitchen starts sooner and nothing slips through.<\/p>\n\n\n

How a kitchen display system works<\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n
  1. An order is placed at the counter, table QR, kiosk or online.<\/li>\n\n\n
  2. It appears on the KDS at the right station, with items, modifiers and a timer.<\/li>\n\n\n
  3. Cooks prepare each item and bump it when done.<\/li>\n\n\n
  4. Timers and colours flag orders that are running late.<\/li>\n\n\n
  5. Completed orders clear the screen and update your POS and reports.<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
