Kitchen display system
Every order on the kitchen screen the moment it's placed.
CafeStat's kitchen screen (we call it the pass) shows every order as it comes in, from a guest's phone, a waiter, the counter or a delivery. Cooks tap dishes as they're ready, the floor sees it straight away, and nothing has to be shouted across the room.
Runs on a screen you already have
Any tablet or an old laptop will do. Add it to the home screen and it opens full screen like an app. There is no special kitchen hardware to buy.
Realtime, with a chime
New orders appear without anyone refreshing the page, and the screen chimes so a busy cook doesn't miss one. The waiter's screen chimes too when food is ready to go out.
Bump it, or undo it
Tap a dish when it's ready. Tapped the wrong one? Undo puts it back. The guest's phone and the floor screen follow along.
Notes the cook actually sees
Modifiers and notes like "no onion" sit on the ticket under the dish, not lost at the bottom of a slip.
Paper tickets if you want them
Kitchen tickets print on 58 mm or 80 mm receipt printers, A4 or A5. They carry no prices, because nobody cooks a price. A reprint is stamped as a reprint, so nobody wonders whether a dish was ordered twice.
One screen per station
With the kitchen-tickets-by-station add-on, the grill, the bar and the dessert counter each get only their own dishes, on their own screen or printer.

Questions
What device do I need for the kitchen screen?
Anything with a modern browser: an Android tablet, an iPad, a Windows laptop or a Mac. Keep it plugged in and set it to stay awake while charging.
Does the kitchen display work without the internet?
No. Orders and status updates travel over the internet, so the kitchen screen needs a connection. Ordinary café wifi or a phone hotspot is enough.
Can I still print kitchen order tickets (KOT)?
Yes. You can use the screen, a printer, or both. Printing works with receipt printers you already own, through a free app on Android or a small helper program on Windows and Mac.
Is the kitchen display an extra cost?
No. The kitchen screen is part of every plan. Only splitting tickets by station is an add-on.
