FloCafe KDS screenKitchen workflow · HTML preview
Restaurant workflow
A KDS is useful only when the kitchen can act on it fast.
The screen should make the next action obvious: accept a new ticket, prepare the food, mark it ready, or send it to expo. FloCafe should be evaluated with real menu items, real modifiers, and the staff flow you use during service.
Clear tickets
Show table, order type, items, modifiers, notes, and elapsed time so cooks do not need to decode a counter receipt during a rush.
Station views
Run a full kitchen board or filter by prep station: grill, cold, drinks, expo, or any workflow your restaurant needs.
Printer fallback
Many teams keep kitchen printing as a backup. Test KDS, KOT printing, network recovery, and reprint behavior together.
Before live service
Test the kitchen screen like it is already Friday night.
Send dine-in, takeaway, delivery, voided, edited, and delayed orders through the full flow. Watch where staff hesitate, whether notes are readable, and how the team recovers if the screen or network drops.
Ticket speedOrders appear quickly enough for the kitchen to trust the screen.
Station routingItems reach the right prep areas without duplicates or missing modifiers.
Recovery pathStaff know when to reprint, refresh, or switch to a fallback process.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a kitchen display system?
A kitchen display system shows orders on a kitchen screen so chefs can see new, preparing, ready, and delayed tickets without relying only on printed slips.
Does FloCafe include KDS workflows?
FloCafe project materials describe kitchen display workflows alongside order taking, KOT printing, receipt printing, menu management, and local data control. Test the exact release with your own kitchen stations before live service.
Can a KDS replace kitchen printers?
Sometimes, but many restaurants run both. Test screen placement, network reliability, printer fallback, staff habits, and how missed or delayed tickets are handled.
No sales call. No card.
