Kitchen sections
Split the kitchen into sections — hot kitchen, grill, bar, pastry — and each sees only its own dishes.
Kitchen display · KOT
A kitchen display system that keeps every dish on time
Every order goes straight from the till, the waiter and the QR menu to the kitchen screen. Each dish lands in its own section, shows how long it has waited, and tells the waiters the moment it is ready. Prefer paper? Print the kitchen order ticket too.

Ready alerts
Mark a dish ready and it appears on the waiter station; the guest sees it on their tracker.
KOT printing
Print the kitchen order ticket as well, if your kitchen likes paper.

Extra spicy, no onions, extra cheese — every note and add-on is on the ticket.

Make prepared items — sauces, pastes, dough — and take them out of stock properly.

Questions
What is a kitchen display system (KDS)?
A KDS is a screen in the kitchen that shows orders instead of paper tickets. Cooks see what to make, how long each order has waited, and mark dishes ready for the waiters.
Can I still print KOT tickets?
Yes. You can print the kitchen order ticket (KOT) as well as using the screen.
What screen do I need in the kitchen?
Any tablet, TV with a browser or computer screen. DotMax runs in the browser.
Can different sections see different dishes?
Yes. Split the kitchen into sections, choose which dishes go where, and each section sees only its own.
