FAQs

Common questions about Kitchen Order Management / KDS

What is a kitchen order management system?

It is software that helps restaurant teams receive, sequence and update food orders as they move through kitchen preparation.

Is KDS the same as KOT?

KOT is typically the kitchen order ticket; KDS generally refers to a digital kitchen display workflow. DineQube connects live order states with KOT-oriented kitchen operations.

Can QR orders go directly to the restaurant dashboard?

Yes. QR orders are designed to appear inside the live restaurant order workflow.

What happens when a customer adds an item later?

DineQube supports add-item operational handling so the kitchen can receive a new instruction without losing the original order context.

Can delivery orders use the same kitchen flow?
