Kitchen Display
KDS routing per station, prep timing, and bumps.
A kitchen display is a real-time queue manager for the line. CloudIP KDS routes tickets per station, tracks prep time per item, and shows the expediter what is leaving the pass next.
Hardware ships pre-imaged from the Hardware Store.

Kitchen Display on the CloudIP platform
Where this capability lives, who runs it, and what it shares with the rest of the system.
Kitchen Display runs as part of the CloudIP Point of Sale module on the same multi-tenant infrastructure as every other capability you use. There is no separate console to log into and no separate billing line: kitchen display system is provisioned the moment your tenant is created and stays in lockstep with the rest of the platform as it grows.
Operators interact with kitchen display system through the Point of Sale interface they already know — the same record screens, the same audit trail, the same role and permission model. Behind the scenes, per-station routing handles the heavy lifting, while ticket-time analytics keep the experience consistent across teams. Configuration changes are versioned, exportable, and reviewable, so the way you run kitchen display system today is reproducible tomorrow.
Because Kitchen Display reuses the platform's user database, every action is attributable, every record has a stable ID, and every export honours the tenant's data residency choice. That means kitchen display system reports tie out to the rest of the books, audit logs, and operational dashboards without an integration step in between.
Kitchen Display fits inside CloudIP Point of Sale alongside the other point of sale capabilities — they share the same data model, so improvements in one tend to compound across the others. If you are evaluating CloudIP specifically for kitchen display system, the rest of Point of Sale comes along at no extra cost.
Common questions about Kitchen Display
Items are tagged in the catalog with a station (grill, fry, expo, salad, bar). At order time, the ticket splits and the right station sees only its items. The expo station sees the full ticket so coursing stays correct.
