Prep
Kitchen work starts in a timer-driven preparing lane.
Tickets show order age, item quantities, notes, source labels, and overdue state so cooks can prioritize the line.

Why it matters
Show the workflow, then prove the operator outcome.
KDS turns incoming orders into visible production cards so the kitchen can see age, channel, items, guest notes, and ready actions.

Kitchen Display System — questions & answers
What is the Kitchen Display System?
The KDS replaces paper kitchen tickets with digital prep lanes — preparing, ready, completed — showing each ticket's age, priority, and order channel.
How does the kitchen notify the front of house?
Marking a ticket ready bumps it and notifies the cashier or waiter, so hand-off is coordinated without shouting across the pass.
Can I route tickets to different stations?
Yes. The KDS supports station routing so the right items appear on the right screen, and it accepts manual tickets for walk-in kitchen requests.
Does the KDS work offline?
Yes. Like the POS, the KDS keeps working during an internet or power outage and syncs when connectivity returns; bumped tickets persist across reloads.
