In short

What is a kitchen display system (KDS)?

A kitchen display system replaces paper dockets with a screen. Orders from the POS, QR codes, your online store and delivery apps appear in one live queue with timers, move from New to Preparing to Ready as the kitchen bumps them, and update the front counter and the customer automatically.

Key facts

  • 15.6″ or 21.5″ KDS screens
  • Syncs dish status with the POS
  • Three levels: expeditor, kitchen and preparation
  • Triggers buzzer and SMS when ready
  • Option to print fulfil tickets

Run the kitchen on screens, not paper

Built for a busy pass

New, Preparing and Ready columns with timers, order-type colours and one-tap bump.

Station routing

Send pizzas to the pizza station, drinks to the bar. Orders split by station automatically.

Expeditor view

Three levels, expeditor, kitchen and preparation, so the pass sees the whole order.

All-day counts

A running tally of every dish on order, so the kitchen can batch prep.

Buzzer & SMS

Trigger a buzzer or text the customer the moment their order is ready.

Printer fallback

Prefer paper for some stations? Route to kitchen printers alongside or instead of screens.

FAQ

Kitchen Display FAQs

What hardware does the kitchen display need?

Kokipay KDS runs on 15.6″ or 21.5″ screens. Talk to us about the right size and mounting for your kitchen.

Can orders go to different stations?

Yes. Items route to the right station automatically, and the expeditor view brings the whole order back together at the pass.

Can I still print dockets?

Yes. You can print fulfil tickets and route to kitchen printers alongside the screens, with re-routing to backup printers.

How do customers know their order is ready?

The KDS can trigger a buzzer and an SMS, and a customer-facing order status screen shows Ready orders at the counter.
