Kitchen display system for restaurants in Costa Rica

Send tickets to the station that prepares them

Menu categories are assigned to kitchen stations. Organize the grill, bar and other preparation areas while following a complete order. Correct station assignment is part of menu setup.

  • Tickets organized by station.
  • Preparation notes and modifiers.
  • A shared workflow for dining-room and direct orders.

Prioritize and dispatch individual dishes

A table may need its starter before its main course. Staff can work with priority and dispatch at the individual line level instead of treating the entire bill as one dish. Statuses help the team coordinate pending, preparing and ready orders.

  • Track order preparation.
  • Prioritize lines that need attention.
  • Coordinate dish delivery with line-level dispatch.

Test a realistic service

An empty screen tells you little about a busy kitchen. A demonstration can follow a table with several dishes, a takeaway order and a modification. Review work distribution and suitable equipment with your team.

  • Your restaurant's menu and stations.
  • Test notes, changes and dish delivery.
  • Review equipment, connectivity and working practices.

Frequently asked questions.

What does KDS mean?

KDS means Kitchen Display System: a kitchen screen for digital tickets and preparation tracking. In 4Labs PRO it is part of the restaurant workflow connected to the POS.

Can I separate kitchen and bar?

Yes. Menu categories are assigned to preparation stations. Implementation includes reviewing where each dish and drink should be prepared.

Do I need specific hardware?

We review your existing devices and station requirements before proposing hardware. A demonstration helps evaluate screen size, placement and use during service.
