About this app

Square’s KDS allows busy restaurants with complex kitchen operations to view orders, mark status, and prepare food quickly and accurately, from one place. Whether you are a single-location or a multi-location brand, Squares KDS delivers the sophisticated technology you need with the simplicity every restaurateur craves.

With Square’s KDS, you can:
- Run your kitchen more efficiently in hot, greasy, busy, loud environments
- Display order tickets on a single screen, so your prep and expo lines can prepare for orders quickly, accurately, and efficiently.
- Organize your tickets with a custom layout based on how your kitchen operates
- Streamline communication between the kitchen and front-of-house so customers and partners always know when an order is ready

Features Include:
- Show prep and expediters easy-to-digest, fast-to-scan order format
- Organize dine-in and takeout orders in one place, without work
- Pull in orders — automatically — from third-party marketplaces
- Mark items or orders as “Complete” with a fast tap
- Automatically text diners when pickup orders are marked as complete from the screen
- See item priority based on time delays you decide on (i.e. ticket turns yellow once live for 5 minutes, and then red after 10 minutes)
- Report on kitchen speed in real-time from anywhere (great for managers)
- See # of tickets and average completion time by device
- Drill into any shift for locations and devices
- Quickly filter your order list by open versus completed tickets
- Edit ticket size and # tickets that show per page
- Recall tickets by full order or by individual item within an order

This product is best fit for restaurants with on-premise and/or online ordering and who require a digital kitchen display system (KDS) in their kitchen. Restaurants can choose to have multiple different KDS systems in their kitchen, splitting out prep stations by menu item or order source. Operators also have control over how their orders display on the screen — tailoring the appearance to their business and staff needs from easy-to-use dashboard settings.
