KOT/KDSOrders straight to the kitchen screen
KOT & KDS Management from the Counter to the Kitchen Screen
KOT and KDS management in GPOS sends restaurant orders from the counter or table straight to the cooks. Only the new items go to the kitchen, printed on an 80mm or 58mm printer or shown on a screen that beeps on each new order. Each order moves from New to Cooking, Ready and Served.

KOT/KDS 6 features
From the order screen
to every kitchen station
Part of the GPOS restaurant POS, these tools cover the path from the counter to the cooks: orders split between stations, order types told apart at a glance, screens in place of paper slips, and quick word from the kitchen when a dish runs out.
-
Each station sees only its share
One order can feed several screens: drinks go to the bar, starters to the fry station and mains to the grill. Each cook works from a short list of their own dishes, not the whole ticket.
-
Dine-in, takeaway and delivery colour-coded
Every order type has its own colour or tag on the kitchen screen, so cooks can tell at a glance which tickets are for the dining room, for collection or for delivery, and decide what to prepare first.
-
Tickets stamped with table and time
A kitchen ticket is created as soon as the order is placed and carries the table number, the items, a timestamp and notes such as “less spicy” or “no onion”, so cooks don't have to come out and ask.
-
Kitchen screens instead of paper slips
Put a display at each station in place of printed tickets. Chefs read the order on screen and mark each item complete there, which means less paper to buy and no slips lost on a busy pass.
-
Servers hear when a dish sells out
If the kitchen runs out of something, the chef sends an “Out of Stock” note from the KDS and it shows on the POS at once, so servers stop offering that dish to the next table.
-
Finished orders clear on their own
Set an auto-clear timer and completed orders drop off the kitchen screen after the time you choose, so the display only shows what still needs cooking. Pick the font size and colours for each screen too.

How KOT and

Getting KOT and KDS running takes five steps. Every order reaches the right kitchen screen with its table number and special notes, cutting errors between front-of-house and kitchen staff.

Assign a KDS screen to each station, such as the bar, fry station and grill, and set its layout, colour codes, font size and auto-clear timers.

When you enter a dine-in, takeaway or delivery order, GPOS creates the KOT with table number, items, quantity and notes, and routes each part to its station.
-
Edit orders in real time
Modify or cancel items at the POS and the change shows on the kitchen display straight away, so your cooks prepare the current version of the order.
-
Mark dishes ready
Your chefs mark items done on the KDS and the POS updates instantly, and they can send “Out of Stock” or “Order Delayed” messages to your servers.

What is KOT-KDS Management?
KOT-KDS Management refers to the Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) and Kitchen Display System (KDS) integration that helps restaurants manage food preparation more efficiently. It digitizes order communication between the front-of-house (waiters/cashiers) and kitchen staff, reducing errors and speeding up service.
How does KOT work in GPOS?
When a waiter or cashier inputs a customer's order into GPOS, a KOT (Kitchen Order Ticket) is automatically generated and sent to the kitchen. It includes details like table number, order items, quantity, and special notes (like “less spicy” or “no onion”).
What is the purpose of the KDS?
The Kitchen Display System (KDS) replaces traditional printed tickets by displaying orders on a digital screen in the kitchen. It allows chefs to view, prepare, and mark items as completed. It reduces paper waste, improves kitchen workflow, and enhances accuracy.
Can multiple kitchen stations receive different parts of an order?
Yes. GPOS supports multi-station kitchen management. For example, drinks can go to the bar, appetizers to the fry station, and mains to the grill. The system intelligently routes each part of the order to the right KDS screen.
Can the system notify when an order is ready?
Absolutely. Once kitchen staff marks the item as "done" on the KDS, the status updates instantly in the POS terminal, notifying front-of-house staff that the order is ready for pickup or delivery to the table.
Is internet required for KOT-KDS to work?
No. In GPOS, tables, orders and KOT keep working when the internet drops, so kitchen tickets still print on your 80mm or 58mm printer. The bills are sent once the connection is back.
Does it support dine-in, takeaway, and delivery orders?
Yes. The KOT-KDS system handles all order types—dine-in, takeaway, and delivery. Each order type is color-coded or tagged differently on the kitchen screen, helping staff prioritize preparation.
Can chefs communicate with servers through the KDS?
Yes. The system allows basic kitchen-to-server messages like "Out of Stock" or "Order Delayed," which appear instantly on the POS screen. This feature improves coordination and reduces miscommunication.
Is the KDS customizable?
Definitely. You can customize layout, color codes, font size, auto-clear timers, and more to match your restaurant's workflow. Whether you're running a fine dining kitchen or a fast-food joint, GPOS adapts to your needs.
