Your kitchen, finally organized

Paper tickets get lost, misread, and create chaos during a rush. KitchenBot KDS puts every order on a clear, color-coded screen — right where your kitchen staff can see it.

No more paper tickets

Orders appear on your KDS the moment they’re placed on Clover — no printing, no running tickets, no missed modifiers.

Dine-in, to-go, and online orders each get their own color. Late orders turn red automatically so nothing falls through the cracks.

Seamless integration

KDS + Online Ordering — better together

KitchenBot KDS works seamlessly with KitchenBot’s commission-free online ordering. Online orders flow directly into your Clover and appear on the KDS labeled by order type — no manual entry, no extra tablets, no dropped orders.

Auto-labeled order types

Dine-in, to-go, and online orders each display in their own color so kitchen staff always know what they’re making and how it’s going out.

Expo screen mode

Set one KDS as the master expo screen. It monitors all stations and shows a consolidated view of every open order across your kitchen.

Zero commission, zero extra hardware

KitchenBot online ordering charges 0% commission. Combined with KDS on your existing tablet, you get a full online ordering + display system for one flat monthly price.

Full customization

Built to fit your kitchen, not the other way around

Every kitchen runs differently. KitchenBot KDS gives you deep control over exactly what shows up on each screen — by station, order type, category, or label.

General Settings

  • Enable or disable KDS from the settings panel

Display Settings

Control exactly what appears on screen and how

  • Show 2, 4, or 8 orders at a time — switch instantly during a rush
  • Font size: small, medium, large, x-large, or xx-large
  • Set an order late threshold — orders turn red when they’ve waited too long

  • Consolidated view — summarizes open items by category for expo stations
  • Color code order types — Dine-in, To-go, Delivery, each in their own color

Data Sync

Control how multiple KDS screens work together

  • Master Control ON — screen acts as an expo display, controlling all other stations
  • Master Control OFF — each screen updates and manages orders independently

What is a Kitchen Display System and does your restaurant need one?

A Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a digital screen mounted in your kitchen that replaces paper tickets. Instead of printing a receipt and running it to the kitchen, orders appear on the KDS screen the moment they’re entered into your POS — instantly, accurately, and in real time.

Why restaurants switch from paper tickets to a KDS

Paper tickets get lost during a rush, become illegible when wet, and can’t tell your kitchen staff which orders are running late. A KDS solves all of that. Orders are color-coded by type, modifiers are always visible, and late orders turn red automatically so nothing gets missed. Most restaurants that switch to a KDS report fewer mistakes, faster ticket times, and a noticeably calmer kitchen during service.

Why KitchenBot KDS is different from other kitchen display systems

Most KDS systems require expensive proprietary hardware or are locked to specific POS systems. KitchenBot KDS works on any Android tablet running version 8.1 or higher — so if you already have a tablet, you can get started today at no hardware cost. It integrates natively with Clover POS and works seamlessly with KitchenBot’s commission-free online ordering, so online orders appear on your kitchen screen alongside in-person orders without any manual entry.

KDS for Clover POS restaurants

If you’re already running on Clover POS, KitchenBot KDS is the natural choice. Orders from Clover flow directly to the KDS without any additional integration work. You can run multiple tablets as separate stations — a kitchen screen, a bar screen, and an expo screen — all synced and controlled from one dashboard. Combined with KitchenBot’s payroll reporting, time clock, tip management, and online ordering, it’s a complete restaurant management system for one flat monthly price.
