The kitchen display ticket board

The ticket board shows open kitchen tickets as cards. Staff mark a ticket Start when they begin it, tap Done to bump it off the board when it's ready, and can Recall a recently completed ticket if something needs to go back on. Bump all clears the whole board of open tickets at once.

Before you start

  • The KDS is provisioned and receiving tickets.
  • Agree on your kitchen's convention for Start vs. Done.

Steps

  1. Read a ticketEach card lists items, modifiers (+), and any notes for the order.
  2. Tap StartMarks the ticket as in progress so the line knows it's being made.
  3. Tap Done to bumpRemoves the finished ticket from the open board.
  4. Recall if neededOpen Recall to bring a recently completed ticket back onto the board.
  5. Bump allClears every open ticket at once when the rail is caught up (confirm the prompt).

Common mistakes

  • Bumping tickets before the food is actually up, so the expo has nothing to check against.
  • Using Bump all mid-rush and losing track of what's still cooking.

Troubleshooting

A bumped ticket needs to come back.

Use Recall to restore a recently completed ticket to the board.

New tickets aren't appearing.

Check the network and that the item is routed to this KDS; unrouted food should still show on every KDS.
