Kitchen Display

Real-time order routing to every station — no paper, no lost tickets.

How it works

Paper tickets get lost, marked up, and misread. Zentable's KDS shows every incoming order on a screen at the station that needs to act on it — hot kitchen, cold station, bar, or pastry. Each ticket shows elapsed time and item-level status so nothing sits cold while waiting for a garnish.

Orders route automatically based on the item's assigned station. The expo view shows the full ticket across all stations so the pass can see when everything for a table is ready simultaneously. Undo is available on every move — no more arguments about who bumped a ticket too early.
