Built to work with Katalyst POS, it gives your team a clear digital view of what’s next—without the paper tickets. ONE SCREEN FOR EVERY ORDER View dine-in orders, Katalyst online orders, and orders from supported third-party channels in one place. Tickets flow directly from Katalyst POS to the kitchen. KEEP EVERY STATION IN SYNC Route menu items to the right prep stations, monitor active and completed tickets, and coordinate service with station and expo views. SPOT IMPORTANT DETAILS Color-coded ticket statuses make it easier to spot orders that need attention. See modifiers and special instructions on each ticket so your team knows exactly what to prepare. BUILT FOR BUSY RESTAURANTS Customize ticket views and screen layouts to fit your kitchen. Manage items and tickets, filter orders, coordinate courses, and use prep-time reporting to identify bottlenecks. PART OF KATALYST POS Katalyst KDS works with the Katalyst restaurant platform and requires an active Katalyst POS setup with KDS enabled. It is not a standalone kitchen display system for other POS providers. Learn more at katalystos.com
