Two hundred tickets in the queue. Batched by station, timed by oven cycle.
The line printer drowns. The KDS keeps up. One screen per station — bar, hot kitchen, pizza oven — each one only sees what they actually cook. Tickets group by cooking method so the pizzas go in together and come out together.
One screen per station
Bar sees drinks. Hot kitchen sees mains. Pizza oven sees pizzas. Each chef sees only what they actually cook.
Auto-batching by cooking method
Three pizzas in one minute? They go in the same bake. Two carbonaras? They fire together. The board figures it out.
Recall any ticket from the last 30 minutes
Waiter asks 'where's table 12?' Two taps to bring the bumped ticket back. No more printer-tape archaeology.
Pacing for sit-down service
Course-by-course pacing per table — starters first, mains when the table's nearly done. The kitchen times itself.
Works alongside your line printer
Not ready to rip out the printer? Run both. The KDS is additive — your existing flow keeps working.
Survives the Wi-Fi
Tickets queue locally and sync when the network blinks back. The kitchen never stops.
