Digital kitchen.
Total control.
Digital kitchen displays that organize, prioritize, and communicate — in real time. All orders from all channels. Color-coded. With timers. Zero paper tickets.
Paper tickets.
The kitchen's worst enemy.
They fall down, fade out, end up in the wrong order, and nobody knows which ticket came first. KDS solves all of these problems — permanently.
📄 Tickets fall down and disappear
🔀 Wrong order — who came first?
🕐 No idea about wait time
🗣️ Server shouts: "Is table 5 ready?"
🤷 Nobody knows where an order is
🗑️ Paper waste every day
📱 All tickets on screen — nothing disappears
📊 Automatic order — oldest first
⏱️ Timer on every ticket — exact wait time
🎨 Color coding — green/yellow/red
✅ Mark as done → server notified
🌱 Zero paper waste
But if you still love paper —
do it exactly your way.
Some kitchens will never let go of the paper ticket. That's fine — but then it should look exactly how you want it. Vendion has the most customizable kitchen ticket templates in the Swedish market, by a mile.
- Per-station templates — kitchen, bar, cold kitchen, dessert
- Show/hide every field — table, guest, time, server, price, allergies
- Three sizes + bold per line — category headers and custom footer
- Auto-tickets for corrections, moved tables, and voids
- Timing-synced: the kitchen's ticket shows what the bar is mixing for the same table
- Paper width 58/80 mm — per station
Nobody calls support. You design — the kitchen and the bar get exactly what they need.
From order to plate.

Regardless of whether the guest ordered via stationary POS, mobile POS, Express kiosk, or QR code — the ticket appears on the exact same KDS screen.
The colour tells.
Instantly.
Every ticket has a timer that starts ticking immediately. Green = recently received. Yellow = taking a while. Red = urgent.
- Automatic timer per ticket
- Configurable color coding (thresholds in minutes)
- Green → Yellow → Red → Flashing
- Oldest-first order (automatic)
- Mark as done with one tap
- Undo done marking
Right ticket.
To the right kitchen.
An order with appetizer, main course, dessert, and a drink involves four stations. With KDS, each part is automatically routed to the right screen.
💡 Allergy warnings follow the ticket to every station. The kitchen sees immediately if the guest has allergies — regardless of the station.
The server knows.
Without asking the kitchen.
When the chef marks a ticket as done, the POS floor view updates instantly. The server sees that table 7's food is ready — without poking their head into the kitchen.
- Order status visible in POS floor view
- "Cooking" → "Ready to serve" in real time
- Server knows exactly which tables are waiting
- Works on stationary and mobile POS
- No communication via shouting or running
18:42 — Chef marks table 7 as done on KDS.
18:42 — Server's POS shows: "Table 7: ✅ Ready to serve."
18:43 — Server picks up the food. Perfect timing.
The guest sees their order.
In real time.
Guests who ordered via ChatOrder can see their order status directly on their phone. No anxious glances toward the kitchen.
