# Kitchen Display System (KDS) The Kitchen Display Screen (KDS) displays orders that need to be prepared on screens positioned at cooking stations. This allows kitchen staff to view, prepare, and mark food items as ready. Multiple KDS screens can operate in a single venue, each assigned to specific stations and/or services. Orders only appear at the time they need to be cooked. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
