The Kitchen display puts every KOT on a screen in three lanes — New, Preparing and Ready to Pickup. Chefs tap a ticket to move it on, and the steward who took the order gets a Ready to serve alert the moment the food is at the pass.
One ticket is one KOT, exactly as printed: the same KOT number, table or token, outlet and fire time. Each chef sees only their own station, timers turn yellow and red when a ticket runs late, and all-day counts show how many of each dish are still to make. It runs on any tablet, laptop or kitchen TV in a browser or the desktop app, and printed KOTs keep working alongside it — or switch the printer off and run the kitchen from the screen alone.

From paper chits to a live board
Every KOT the floor fires — from the Steward App, the portal, a QR self-order or the counter — lands on the board as a ticket in the New lane. A chef taps it to start (Preparing) and taps again when it is ready (Ready to Pickup). Tap a single item to mark just that dish. The lanes are the order statuses your team already uses, so the floor, Live Floor and reports always agree.
Stations, so each chef sees their own work
Split the kitchen into stations — tandoor, curry, bar, pastry — the same way KOTs are split by printer, or as screen-only stations with no printer. Assign each chef to their stations and they see only those tickets; the head chef and the owner see everything with a station filter.
Ready to serve, straight to the waiter
When a ticket reaches Ready to Pickup, the steward who placed the order gets an alert on the Steward App naming the table, the station, the KOT number and the dishes. Live Floor shows a Ready to serve badge on the table until the steward ticks the food as served.
Made for a busy pass
Big tickets, one tap per move, a 10-second undo instead of double-tap bumps, timers that turn yellow and red (10 and 15 minutes by default, you choose), a sound for each new ticket and all-day counts so the line knows what is coming. Late tickets float to the top.
Expo and Make now for the head chef
On Gourmet and Pro the expo view shows every station together, so the head chef can see when a whole table is ready, push a ticket to the front with Make now and mark food served from the pass.
Know how fast the kitchen is
Every ticket records when it was fired, when it was ready and when it was served. The Kitchen speed report (Gourmet and Pro) shows ticket times by station, hour and dish, how many ran past the red timer and how long ready food waited at the pass.

Who it’s for
Frequently asked
Does the kitchen need a printer?
No. The Kitchen display works on its own on any tablet, laptop or TV — a station can be screen-only. If you already print KOTs, printing keeps working alongside the display.
Which plans include the Kitchen display?
The Kitchen display, stations, the Ready to serve alert and all-day counts are on Diner, Gourmet and Pro. The expo view, Make now and the Kitchen speed report are on Gourmet and Pro; several outlets’ kitchens on one display is on Pro. The Cafe plan fires one KOT with Place & bill and has no kitchen queue.
What do chefs see?
Only their own station’s tickets: dishes, quantities, notes and add-ons, the table or token and the timer. Never prices, bills or guest details.
What if a chef bumps the wrong ticket?
Undo is offered for 10 seconds, and Recall brings back any ticket completed in the last 30 minutes.
Does it work with the offline hub?
Yes. With the offline order hub the board, stations and Ready to serve alerts keep running on your restaurant’s network when the internet drops.
