Questions? We've got answers

A Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a digital screen in the kitchen that shows incoming orders in real time, helping staff prioritise tickets, track prep time, and mark items as ready. It replaces or reduces printed dockets and helps cut errors.

Orders from your POS and/or online ordering are sent to the screen automatically. The KDS then lists tickets, often routes items to stations, shows timers, and lets staff tap orders through stages like New → Preparing → Ready so the team stays aligned during service.

Pricing varies by provider. Flipdish KDS is available as part of the Flipdish restaurant management platform - speak to the team for a tailored quote.

The Flipdish KDS works as part of the Flipdish POS ecosystem, giving you the most seamless experience across front-of-house and kitchen.

They refer to the same thing: a screen in the kitchen that shows orders digitally. "KDS" is the industry acronym for kitchen display system.
