Kitchen Display and Preparation

Kitchen Display (KDS) manages preparation queues.

7.1 Sending Items

Use Fire or Send when items should move to the kitchen or bar. Items route by prep station, such as Kitchen or Bar.

7.2 Kitchen Queue

The kitchen screen shows open preparation work:

• Order/check number.
• Table or order type.
• Item list and modifiers.
• Prep station.
• Age or waiting time.
• Item and order status.

7.3 Bumping Items

Kitchen staff can bump individual items or an entire order when preparation is done. Bumping keeps the waiter and manager view accurate.

7.4 Service Status

After preparation, front-of-house can serve the guest and update item/check status. This keeps active orders and table states clean.
