What Tabres KDS is
Tabres KDS is a web-based kitchen display system that presents open orders as live tickets. It receives Tabres POS, QR table, table, takeaway, and delivery orders. Managers can configure kitchen stations and route categories so each order line appears at its assigned station. Cooks move lines through Queued, Firing, Ready, and Served, with actions depending on the ticket’s state. Board, Pass, and Recall views use the same order data. A ticket timer starts when the business accepts an order, changing to amber at five minutes and crimson at eight. Allergy notes and allergen labels appear on order lines, and an allergy note highlights the ticket strip in crimson. Kitchen screens omit prices, payment details, email addresses, and delivery addresses; a customer name appears only when staff need to call it out. The free plan is €0 per month and includes unlimited branches, employees, and kitchen displays, with no per-screen fee. A disconnected screen retains its last orders but cannot advance dishes until it reconnects. Each screen is assigned to one kitchen and cannot show several branches.
