A tablet on the kitchen wall, showing what to cook and in what order. No printer, no lost docket, no shouting.
Sending items
Items added to a bill sit as pending until someone sends them. That is deliberate: a waiter can build a table order across three visits and the kitchen sees it once, complete, instead of cooking a half-written ticket.
When the order is ready to cook, send it, and it appears on the kitchen screen.
The three lanes
Tickets move left to right: New, then Cooking, then Ready. The kitchen taps a ticket to move it along, so the front of house can see which table food is about to go out to without asking.
There is a full-screen button, which is what you want on a wall tablet that nobody should be able to tap out of by accident.
Age, not just order
The screen ages each item from the moment it was sent, not from when the bill was opened. A drink added forty minutes into a long dinner does not look overdue just because the table has been open a while. That one detail is the difference between a screen the kitchen trusts and a screen they ignore.
Who uses it
Give the kitchen its own POS login rather than sharing the owner account. It opens straight to the kitchen screen and cannot see your takings. See staff accounts vs POS logins.
