Kitchen orders

How you get here: Live orders in My Kitchen"View and manage incoming orders". Requires an account? A restaurant account.


What this is

Your live order overview.

The order board — the screen a kitchen leaves open during service. Orders appear on their own — nobody refreshes anything — and a chime plays when a new one lands.


The three columns

Group Colour Icon
New accent bell
In Progress brand orange flame
Ready green check

Plus Completed and Cancelled for finished orders.

Orders move left to right as you work them.


The clock

Every order shows how long it's been waiting — 45s, 12m, 1h — and the colour escalates as it ages. That's the single most important thing on the screen during a rush: it turns "which order next?" into something you can see rather than work out.


What you can do with an order

  • Move it New → In Progress → Ready
  • Propose changes — substitutions or removals when something's out of stock. The diner sees the diff and accepts or rejects it (see Order status)
  • Kitchen Chat — message the customer directly
  • Cancel

The change-proposal flow is what stops "we're out of that" from becoming a cancellation.


Empty state

No active orders New orders, in-progress orders, and orders ready for pickup show up here in real time.
