Read full description

TicknCook is the Kitchen Display System (KDS) built for ambitious restaurateurs who treat digital as a real performance lever — not just a gadget. Ditch the paper tickets. TicknCook turns your kitchen into a precision machine: orders flow in from every channel — POS, delivery platforms, online ordering — and land exactly where they need to be, in real time, with zero manual re-entry. WHY TICKNCOOK • Built for growth: run 1, 5 or 50 locations with the same tool, the same standards, the same visibility. • Deep configurability, simple onboarding: it adapts to how YOUR kitchen actually works — screen by screen, station by station. • Multi-brand, multi-screen: one physical kitchen serving several restaurant brands? One dashboard, all your operations. • Real data, real decisions: know exactly how long your burger station really takes — not a gut feeling, a number. WHAT YOU GET - Kitchen, counter, pass, runner and delivery screens, each tailored to a role - Order routing and filtering by tag, station, prep step, channel, service type or color - Multi-POS and delivery platform integrations (Zelty, Last.app, Popina, Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Square, HubRise, and more) - Real-time stats and CSV export to track prep times and kitchen performance - Multi-brand and multi-site support for growing chains - Human, expert support — real people who know restaurants RESULTS OUR CUSTOMERS SEE Some locations have cut average prep time from 26 to 12 minutes. Others report ~15% faster kitchens overall — fewer errors, fewer refunds, happier teams and happier customers. TicknCook isn't just a screen that replaces paper. It's the operational backbone of a kitchen that runs on data instead of chaos. Built for independent and multi-site restaurateurs who want their kitchen to scale as fast as their ambition.
