Kitchen Display System (KDS)

Instant tickets, faster service, no missed orders

OrderEase KDS pushes tickets straight to the kitchen screen — no runners needed. Timers track wait times, completion marks prevent double-firing, and multi-station routing keeps the kitchen running smoothly.

Core features

Turn chaos into order and boost kitchen throughput

Instant order reception

The moment a guest scans to order or the POS rings in a ticket, it pushes to the kitchen screen — no runners, zero lag.

Wait-time timers

Every ticket runs its own timer, and overdue orders flash red. Chefs instantly see what's most urgent and prioritize accordingly.

Mark as complete

One tap marks a dish as ready, preventing double-firing. Servers immediately see what's ready to run.

Multi-station support

Wok, cold line, and drinks stations each get their own screen showing only their items — clearer division of labor.

Audible alerts

A sound plays when a new order arrives so the kitchen never misses one, even when things get hectic. Volume and tone are customizable.

Large-screen display

Runs on tablets or large external monitors with larger fonts and high-contrast colors — easy to read from anywhere in the kitchen.

Order handling workflow

Every stage is tracked from ticket in to plate out

1

Receive the order

Once a guest scans to order or a staff member enters it on the POS, the ticket pushes to the kitchen display with table number and item detail.

2

Start prep

Chefs prep in ticket order. Timers display wait time for each order in real time and warn automatically when one runs late.

3

Mark complete

One tap when a dish is ready moves the ticket from the prep lane to completed. Servers get the run notification instantly.

4

Confirm delivery

Once servers confirm the order is delivered, the ticket closes out. Every step is logged so you can analyze throughput later.
