How it works

One Screen, Every Order, Real Time

Runs on any screen

Mount a tablet, monitor, or TV with a browser — no dedicated KDS terminal to purchase or maintain.

All channels, one display

POS, QR table, and online orders all land on the same screen, in the order they came in.

Zero-delay sync

Orders appear the moment they're placed — no printer, no walking a docket over from the counter.

Track status in real time

Staff mark items or full tickets as in-progress or complete, so everyone on the line knows what's next.

Why it matters

Paper Tickets Are Where Kitchens Lose Orders

Fewer missed and mis-fired tickets

Restaurant-tech research consistently links kitchen display systems to fewer order errors and clearer line communication than paper dockets, especially during a rush.

No paper, ribbon, or printer downtime

A jammed or out-of-paper printer mid-service is a paper-ticket problem, not a digital-display one — the kitchen keeps moving because there's nothing to run out of.

From a real kitchen

“Our Order Flow Is Tight — Tickets Never Get Lost Anymore”

Ahmad Karimi, Owner of Afghan Kebab, on Friday nights before and after RestroManage: the kitchen used to fall apart under the rush of paper tickets. With every order syncing instantly to the display, dine-in tickets stopped getting lost, even during the busiest service of the week.

No printer paper, ribbon, or jams to manage mid-service.

Every order routes to the same screen, regardless of channel.

Included in every plan — no separate KDS subscription or hardware fee.

Works alongside your existing card machine via ECR integration if you have one.

KDS FAQ

Kitchen Display System Questions, Answered

What is a kitchen display system (KDS)?+
A KDS replaces paper order dockets with a live digital screen in the kitchen. Orders from POS, QR tables, and online ordering all appear the instant they're placed, and kitchen staff mark each item or ticket as in-progress or complete in real time.
What hardware do I need for the kitchen display?+
Any tablet, monitor, or screen with a web browser works — mounted on the wall or on a stand. There is no proprietary KDS terminal to buy; RestroManage's kitchen display runs in a browser like the rest of the platform.
Do orders from every channel show up on one screen?+
Yes. Dine-in POS tickets, QR table orders, and online/takeaway orders all route to the same kitchen display in the order they're placed — kitchen staff never have to check multiple tablets or a paper printer separately.
Can I run multiple kitchen displays for different stations?+
Yes, you can open the kitchen display on multiple screens — for example, one for the grill and one for the pass — and orders sync across every screen in real time.
How much does a kitchen display system cost?+
RestroManage's kitchen display is included in every plan at no extra cost — there's no separate KDS subscription, license, or per-screen fee to add on top of your flat monthly price.
Does a kitchen display system reduce order errors?+
Yes. Removing handwriting, torn dockets, and misheard verbal orders from the process is one of the most consistently cited benefits of moving to a digital display, and it's especially noticeable during peak service.
Can I use a tablet I already own as a kitchen display?+
Yes — any tablet, monitor, or TV with a modern browser works. There's no proprietary KDS hardware to buy or get locked into.
What happens to a kitchen display order once it's prepared?+
Staff mark the ticket or individual items as complete on screen, so the rest of the line and front-of-house always know what's ready without walking over to check.
