Kitchen tickets that keep the whole pass in sync.

Cibus KDS routes orders from POS, QR ordering, Storefront and delivery to configured kitchen stations. Cooks claim, prep, complete items and bump tickets while the expediter reviews the table across every routed station.

The problem

Paper tickets break when the kitchen gets busy.

During a rush, paper tickets can be buried, modifiers can be missed, allergen notes can rely on relayed messages, and front of house has to ask what is ready. Cibus KDS turns connected orders into a live kitchen workflow: routed by station, tracked by age, visible to the pass and connected back to service views.

  • Paper tickets on the rail
  • Shouted changes
  • Duplicate prints
  • Lost modifiers
  • No prep-time history
  • FOH asking ‘how long?’
With Cibus KDS
  • Live tickets by station
  • Modifiers and allergens on the card
  • Prep timers and priority badges

Station routing

Each item goes where it is actually cooked.

A single table can touch multiple configured stations. Drinks can go to Bar, grill items to Grill, starters to Cold and desserts to Pastry. Cibus routes each item by menu configuration while keeping the table grouped for the expediter.

Ticket lifecycle

Claim, prep, bump, serve — without losing the thread.

Connected tickets follow a clear kitchen lifecycle. Cooks claim ownership, work the ticket, mark individual items complete, bump when ready and serve when the table has gone. Recall, unclaim and unbump actions support mistake correction.

Expediter

The pass sees the whole table, not just one station.

The expediter view brings every station together. It shows which tables are nearly ready, which station is holding the table and when to fire service.

At the pass

Not a screen of orders. A kitchen that stays in sync.

Configured item routing, visible ticket age and grouped table readiness give the expediter one connected view from first fire to final bump.

In service

A table order at the pass.

T12 includes Heritage Tomato & Burrata, Truffle Tagliatelle, 30-day Ribeye, Bone Marrow Butter, Cornish Sea Bass, Brown Shrimp. Cibus routes each item to its configured preparation station. The expediter can see when the table is waiting on one station and decide when the routed items are ready to serve together.

Same order record. Same shift. Visible from POS, KDS and the manager dashboard.
