How do orders reach the kitchen display?

Automatically. When a guest checks out on your Kitchra ordering site, the ticket appears on the kitchen screen instantly — pickup, delivery and curbside in one queue, with no re-keying.

Do I need special hardware?

No. The display runs in any browser, so a tablet or a TV you already own works. There's nothing proprietary to buy or lease.

Can the line advance items individually?

Yes — bump each item as it's made, not just the whole ticket, so the pass always knows what's left on an order.

Does it help with prep?

Yes. Prep counts by station tell you what to make before the rush, and kitchen timing shows where service is slowing down across the day.

Is the KDS an extra cost?

No — the kitchen display, prep and timing are part of the same flat monthly plan as your ordering site and back office.

Kitchen display

A kitchen display system that runs service without paper

Orders hit the kitchen screen the moment a guest checks out — no printer, no runner, no re-keying. Advance tickets item by item, see what's slowing down, and count prep so nothing runs out mid-shift.

Zero re-keying

Every order lands on the screen automatically

Because Kitchra takes the order, the ticket is on the kitchen display the instant a guest checks out — pickup, delivery or curbside, all in one queue. Nothing is typed twice, nothing is lost on a printer, and the line sees the order before the receipt would have finished printing.

Item by item

Advance the work, not just the ticket

Bump each item as it's made, not just the whole order — so a table's fries and burger move independently and the pass knows exactly what's left. The board shows how long tickets have been open, so the thing that's slowing down is obvious at a glance.

Prep & timing

See what's slow, and never run out

Kitchen timing surfaces where service drags across the day, and prep counts by station (by fridge) tell you what to make before the rush — so you're not 86'ing a best-seller at 7pm. It's the difference between reacting and running ahead.

No hardware

On a tablet or TV you already own

The display runs in any browser — put it on a tablet at the pass or a TV over the line, no proprietary terminal to buy or lease. And it's part of the same flat plan as your ordering site and back office, updated from the same menu, so a sold-out item is the same fact everywhere.
