Platform · Kitchen display

Fired courses show on the kitchen screen.

A screen on the pass instead of a printer. Tickets by state, course firing and per-station routing, on a tablet you own.

Pairing
No extra login
A KDS screen is a device paired through the POS, or a preview from the dashboard.
Fire once
Never double-sent
Firing a course again only sends what has not gone to the kitchen yet.

Every screen
Tickets arrive over a live feed, with polling as the fallback if it drops.
The tour

Ticket state on a screen, not a stack of paper.

Every kitchen chit the POS produces lands here, moves through the cook and clears when it is done.

Tickets by state

New, preparing, ready. Tap to move it along.

The kitchen advances each chit: start it, mark it ready, bump it off the board. Recall a bumped ticket and it returns to ready.

Urgency aging

Ticket age goes amber, then red.

Every chit shows its age from when it was fired: green in time, amber at five minutes, red once overdue. A venue can tune those thresholds.

Fire by course

Send the starters, hold the mains.

Items are tagged by course, and the kitchen sees a course only when the server fires it. Firing again sends the new items alone.

Right station

Food to the kitchen, drinks to the bar.

You flag products as kitchen and set which registers print bar tickets. Kitchen items are subtracted from the bar ticket, so one sale serves both stations.

Live across screens

The same board on the pass and the line.

Tickets arrive over a live feed, so a fired course shows in seconds. If it drops, the board polls and an indicator says live or polling.

A log, not a queue

Every ticket records its print outcome.

The creating device prints the ticket and records the outcome: pending, printed or failed, with a time. A failed chit waits for someone to press retry.

The kitchen display shares its data with the rest of the floor.

Questions

The things people ask.

Does the kitchen display need its own login?

No separate password. A KDS screen is a device paired through the POS on that same tablet, so the POS pairs it and the kitchen sees the venue's tickets. An owner can also preview the same board from the dashboard. If a screen is not paired yet, it says so and asks you to open the POS on the device and pair it first.

What happens if I fire the same course twice?

Nothing gets cooked twice. Each fire compares the course against a snapshot of what already went to the kitchen and sends only the difference. Pressing Fire again, or firing after a guest adds a late dish, produces a ticket for the new items alone, never a fresh copy of the whole course.

How does it know food from drinks?

Two settings decide it. A product is flagged as a kitchen item when you build the menu, and a register is set to print bar tickets when you set up the POS. Anything flagged kitchen is taken out of the bar ticket, so one sale can produce a kitchen chit and a bar chit that never overlap.

Does it warn me when a ticket is running late?

Each chit shows its age from when it was fired. It stays green while it is in time, turns amber at five minutes, and red once it passes ten. Those thresholds can be tuned for a venue that runs faster or slower than the default.

What if the connection drops mid-service?

The board arrives over a live feed and falls back to polling if that feed drops, reconnecting on its own. A small indicator shows whether it is currently live or polling, so a short dropout does not leave the kitchen blind or make a fired course disappear.

Can I bring a bumped ticket back?

Yes. Recently bumped tickets stay within reach, and recalling one returns it to ready so it can be worked and bumped again. Bumping is optimistic on the screen and reconciles on the next refresh, so the board stays responsive during a rush.
