Incoming Orders

Order Details
Keep relevant item, quantity, modifier, note, or other order details visible where configured.
Preparation Status
Use the status steps configured for the kitchen to show what is new, in progress, or complete.
Staff Visibility
Help the kitchen and service team work from the same order context instead of separate notes or tickets.
Move Orders Through the Kitchen Workflow
Use status changes to show where an order or item sits in the preparation process.
New
Show newly received kitchen orders or items that have not yet entered preparation.
In Preparation
Let kitchen staff mark the order or item as being prepared using the status workflow configured for the operation.
Ready

KDS and POS Work Together, but They Are Separate Extensions
POS handles sales and order entry. KDS provides the kitchen-facing display and preparation workflow.
POS Extension
Use POS for product selection, orders, sales, discounts, refunds, transaction records, and other front-of-house point-of-sale workflows.
KDS App Extension
Use KDS for the kitchen-side order queue, item visibility, preparation status, and staff handoff configured for the location.
Keep the Software and Kitchen Hardware Scope Clear
KDS App covers the Booking Ninjas kitchen workflow. Physical devices and the network environment remain separate.
-
Displays & Tablets
Kitchen screens, tablets, mounts, stands, and replacement devices remain separate unless specifically included in a project scope.
-
Network Environment
Reliable device connectivity depends on the location's internet, local network, hardware, and operating environment.
-
Printers & Peripherals
Kitchen printers and other peripherals can remain part of the local hardware setup where required.
-
Implementation
Screen setup, order routing, statuses, staff roles, device testing, and rollout are discussed based on the location.
Where a Kitchen Display System Fits
Useful anywhere food or beverage orders need a clearer handoff from order entry to kitchen preparation.
Hotels & Resorts
Route configured food and beverage orders into a kitchen-facing workflow connected to the property operation.
Clubs & Member Venues
Keep member-facing food service orders connected to the kitchen workflow used by staff.
