Screens, Printers or Both?

There's no single right answer. It depends on your layout, menu and how your team works.

Kitchen Screens

Suit busy kitchens with multiple stations, where orders need tracking and clearing as they're prepared.

Docket Printers

Suit simpler setups, or stations where a paper docket is still the easiest thing to work from.

A Mix of Both

Many venues use screens in the kitchen and printers at the bar or pass. We'll recommend the mix that suits your venue.

From Customer Order to Kitchen Preparation.

Orders from the counter, tables and online are routed to the right preparation area, so nothing gets lost between front of house and the kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly and we'll give you a straight answer.

What's the difference between a KDS and a docket printer?

A kitchen display system shows orders on a screen that staff can track and clear as they're prepared. A docket printer prints each order on paper. Some venues use one, many use both.

Can orders be routed to different kitchen stations?

Yes. Orders can be split so each item goes to the station that prepares it, such as the kitchen, bar or takeaway area.

Can kitchen screens display online orders?

If your online ordering is integrated with your POS, those orders can appear on kitchen screens alongside counter and table orders.

Will a KDS work with my existing POS?

It depends on your POS platform. Many POS systems support kitchen screens, and we'll confirm compatibility before recommending hardware.

Can we use both printers and screens?

Yes. A mix is common, for example screens in the kitchen and a printer at the bar. We'll recommend what suits your layout.

Do you provide installation and training?

Yes. We install and configure the hardware and show your team how to use it during service.
