The Old Way: Lost Paper Tickets & Shouting Across the Pass
Thermal paper rolls jam during peak Saturday dinner, grease smudges the modifiers ("No Onion/Garlic"), and captains crowd the kitchen door asking where Table 7’s starter is.
The Vasuttam Way: Station-Routed Screens & Live Timers
Every KOT appears immediately on the right station screen with bold dietary tags. Tickets turn amber at 12 minutes and red at 18 minutes, keeping the entire brigade synchronized.
Built for peak service hours.
Automatic Station Filtering
A single table order splits automatically: Dal Makhani & Naan appear on the Tandoor KDS; Mocktails appear on the Bar KDS.
All-Day Item Aggregation View
Chefs see total active counts ("8× Paneer Tikka, 14× Butter Naan across 5 tables") to batch-fire efficiently.
Per-Item or Full-Ticket Bump
Tap individual dishes as they are plated, or bump the entire KOT once the course is complete.
Pass Verification & Captain Notification
Expediter screen shows when all stations for Table 4 are ready so dishes arrive hot together.
Every F&B outlet connected to your front desk.
Runs on Android Tablets, iPads & Smart TVs
Mount an affordable Android tablet or HDMI monitor in the kitchen—no proprietary KDS hardware lock-in.
Green → Amber → Red Prep Time Thresholds
Customize target prep times per category so delayed room-service or VIP table orders stand out visually.
High-Contrast Jain, Allergy & VIP Badges
Special preparation notes ("Jain", "Less Spicy", "Room 301 VIP") render in bold alert badges that cannot be missed.
Use KDS + Thermal Printers Together
Run a digital KDS screen at the main pass while keeping physical thermal printers at high-heat tandoor or bar stations.

Accidentally bumped a ticket? Recall recently completed orders in one tap without asking the captain to re-punch.
Station Speed & Bottleneck Reports
Review average ticket turnaround times by hour, shift and kitchen station to optimize staffing.
