Set Up a KDS Screen

Summary

Set up a KDS screen so the kitchen team can work with a clear, readable, and reliable display during service.

Before you begin

  • Sign in to the KDS device
  • Confirm the device is mounted or positioned correctly
  • Make sure the screen is assigned to the right area of the kitchen
  • Know which team will use this screen and from what distance
  • Confirm the device has stable power and internet

Steps

  1. Open the KDS settings or screen setup area.
  2. Review the current screen configuration.
  3. Select the most appropriate display layout for the station.
  4. Adjust readability settings such as screen density or display preferences, if available.
  5. Review sound or alert behavior for the kitchen environment.
  6. Save the screen setup.
  7. Test the screen with a sample order to confirm the layout works during real service conditions.

Troubleshooting

  • The screen is hard to read from a distance: Increase readability and simplify the displayed scope.
  • Too many orders crowd the screen: Review layout choices and station routing.
  • Kitchen alerts are too loud or too quiet: Adjust device and KDS alert settings.
  • The screen works but is unreliable during service: Recheck power, connectivity, and device placement.
  • The wrong team is using the screen: Confirm it is assigned to the correct station.
