Kitchen Friction

The speed and accuracy constraints of paper printers

Lost & Stained Tickets

Paper tickets easily drop behind counters, get splashed with water, or catch fire in hot, noisy kitchens, leading to major prep errors.

No Color Pacing Alerts

Paper slips cannot change colors to notify busy cooks that a table has been waiting 15+ minutes, causing uneven check times.

Manual Ticket Rail Sorting

Cooks spend precious time rearranging paper tickets on rails during peak rushes rather than preparing food, leading to production blockages.

The KDS Flow

Interactive prep execution in 4 steps

1

Order Routed to Screen

Orders placed on POS terminals, kiosks, or online portals appear instantly on designated prep station monitors.

2

Pace Alerts Trigger

Incoming ticket headers start green, transitioning to warning yellow, and finally overdue flashing red as they approach wait time thresholds.

3

Single-Tap Bump

Once the prep station cook finishes the items, they tap the screen or hit a physical bump bar button to clear the ticket.

4

FOH Status Update

The POS, order pickup boards, and mobile servers' screens show the ticket status as 'Ready', triggering immediate delivery.

Core Capabilities

Built to orchestrate complex kitchen prep

High-Visibility Screens

Large, high-contrast digital layouts designed to be readable from across a hot and busy kitchen line.

Color-Coded Timers

Alert kitchen staff by changing ticket headers from green, to warning yellow, and finally to flashing red based on wait limits.

Custom Station Layouts

Configure screens specifically for Expo, Grill, Sauté, Prep, or Bar views, showing only relevant items.

Interactive Bumping

Mark individual items or complete tickets as finished with a simple tap or robust physical bump bar.

Item Summary Views

Consolidates cooking quantities (e.g. '12x Cheeseburgers', '6x Fries') so cooks know total volumes needed at a glance.

Modification Banners

Displays allergen information and custom ingredient modifications in prominent, blinking high-contrast panels.

Multi-Channel Sync

Unifies order tickets from POS registers, table QRs, self-service kiosks, and web orders onto one cohesive screen.

LAN Database Failover

Syncs tickets over your local router network, maintaining screen communications even if external internet drops.
