Kitchen display system (KDS)

A kitchen display system shows orders on a screen in the kitchen instead of paper tickets. Each item appears the moment the cashier confirms it, with notes and add-ons, and is marked “ready” when it is done.

Benefits of a KDS: no lost tickets, a timer per order, and priority ordering. In RAWA the kitchen display is built in on every plan and archives old tickets automatically.

How a kitchen display changes the workflow

Instead of a printer spitting out paper tickets that get lost or splashed, orders appear on a screen in arrival order with notes and add-ons. The cook taps “ready” and the cashier and waiter know instantly; each order has a timer that exposes delays before the guest complains.

Splitting by station

In bigger kitchens each item routes to the station responsible for it: grill, starters, desserts, drinks. Each cook sees only what concerns them, and the order is assembled at hand-over.

• Start with one station, then expand
• Set a time limit that flags late orders
• Use archiving to keep the screen clean
• Train the team to always tap “ready”
