Small KDS turns your iPad into a live kitchen display system (KDS) for Square. Connect your Square account, pick a location, and orders appear as big, glanceable tickets the moment they come in, so the kitchen reads the queue at a glance instead of squinting at a receipt printer or a point-of-sale screen. Built for pizzerias, cafes, food trucks, quick-service counters, bars, and any Square seller that needs orders on a screen in the kitchen. WHAT YOU GET - Live order tickets: new Square orders show up automatically, big and readable across the room. - Aging timers: every ticket shows how long it has been waiting so nothing gets lost in a rush. - Status cycling: tap a ticket to move it through your flow and clear it when it is done. - All-day summary: one toggle totals every active item across all tickets so grill and prep cooks can batch their work. - Order history and dismiss-all: recall a cleared ticket, or wipe the board between services. - Order alerts and screen wake-lock: hear new orders land and keep the display awake through a shift. UNLIMITED SCREENS One subscription covers a whole location with as many display tablets as you want (expo, grill, prep, dessert, a second counter). No per-screen fees, ever. ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT Activate at smallkds.com, simple and cheap plans options. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install and tap Connect Square (secure sign-in on Square's own page; your credentials never touch us). 2. Choose which location's orders to display. 3. Subscribe at smallkds.com to activate, and the board unlocks. 4. Open the app on every tablet you want as a screen. PRIVACY Your Square sign-in stays on the device. We read your live order data only to show it on the board; we do not keep your orders on our servers. No ads, no third-party tracking. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe. Small KDS is an independent app that works with Square. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Square or Block, Inc. "Square" is a trademark of Block, Inc.
