Turn any Android tablet into a powerful kitchen display system with KDS by mypreorder — the KDS app built for hospitality. See online orders the instant they arrive, manage every stage of preparation, and keep your restaurant or cafe kitchen running smoothly — even without internet.
REAL-TIME ORDER MANAGEMENT
Orders from mypreorder appear instantly. Accept or reject with a single tap, then bump through Accepted → Preparing → Ready → Completed so your team always knows what's next.
VIRTUAL PRINTER — CONNECT ANY POS WITHOUT AN INTEGRATION
Your tablet acts as a network receipt printer. Any POS system that prints to a Star or Epson printer can send dockets straight to your KDS — no API, no middleware, no developer needed. Just add your tablet's IP as a printer in your POS and go.
• Automatic network discovery (mDNS, Star UDP, Epson ENPC)
• Docket Template Editor — teach the app your POS receipt layout
• Star raster and ESC/POS text decoding with inline image support
• Auto-accept, auto-print, and pass-through reprinting
• Order de-duplication prevents double-ups
• Virtual Printer orders sync across all KDS devices at your location
• Display modes: auto, structured, raw, or hybrid
• Modifier quantities and fulfilment type badges on Virtual Printer orders
• Configurable protocol detection and timeout settings
• Status indicator with at-a-glance Virtual Printer health monitoring
Works with Lightspeed, Loyverse, Uniwell, and any ESC/POS-compatible point of sale.
CONFIGURABLE BUMP MODES
• Default — tap through each status stage
• Two-tap — select, then complete
• One-tap — instant complete with 5-second undo
Long-press for granular status control regardless of mode.
DOCKET PRINTING
Print kitchen dockets to any ESC/POS thermal receipt printer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Supports Star Micronics, Epson, and generic printers in 58 mm and 80 mm widths.
ORDER TIMERS & PRIORITY COLOURS
Live elapsed or countdown timers on every order card. Headers shift green → orange → red as deadlines approach. Choose Relaxed, Standard, Urgent, or Custom presets with per-order-type overrides.
ALL DAY ITEMS & CONSOLIDATED VIEW
Track item totals across active orders with a persistent bottom bar. Open the Consolidated view to see every unique item aggregated by quantity across your board.
ITEM & MODIFIER STYLING
Colour-code items and highlight modifier keywords — "NO" in red, "ADD" in green, allergens in orange. One-tap presets or custom rules.
REFUND & SEND TO POS
Process full or partial refunds directly from the KDS. Send orders to your POS with one tap.
