The kitchen display built for food trucks

In a tight food truck kitchen, every inch of space matters. Small KDS turns any Android or iOS tablet into a wireless, space-saving order display that reads your Square orders instantly. It is the kitchen display for food trucks that works with the Square POS you already use, with no bulky hardware and no messy cables.

Space-saving order display

Mount a single tablet on the wall or dashboard as your food truck order display. Ditch the noisy receipt printer and keep your counter clear for your food truck signage and menu boards.

Orders on screen in seconds

Every order from your Square-based food truck ordering system lands on the display the moment it's rung up at the window. Keep your line moving with instant prep-ticket updates.

Add screens as you grow

Need a second screen for prep? Run unlimited displays on our simple per-location subscription with no extra monthly fee.

Why food truck crews switch to Small KDS

No more paper tickets blowing off the pass

Paper tickets get greasy, torn, and lost in the wind the moment you slide open a service window. Small KDS puts every order on a bright, glanceable kitchen display your line can read at a glance, so nothing gets missed when the lunch rush hits three trucks deep.

Runs on the tablet you already own

No proprietary box to bolt in, no special kitchen hardware to buy. Small KDS runs on any Android or iOS tablet you mount with a simple clamp, and it works alongside your food truck ordering app and Square POS, showing each order to the kitchen rather than taking the payment itself. Switch trucks, commissaries, or festival pitches and your display comes with you.

One flat price, no per-truck math

Running a window screen, a prep station, and an expo display shouldn't mean three separate subscriptions. Small KDS charges per Square location, not per screen, so you can add as many displays as your build-out needs without a bigger bill.

Built for a business that moves

Food trucks don't run like a fixed restaurant. You might work a lunch route on weekdays and festivals on weekends, add a second truck for peak season, or swap a cracked tablet mid-shift. However your customers order, at the window, from a food truck ordering app, or from a self-ordering kiosk, Small KDS shows the kitchen what to make on one clear order display. It's priced to match that reality too: one flat per-location fee with unlimited screens, so growing your fleet or your event calendar never means renegotiating your kitchen tech.

Set up before the lunch rush starts

Most trucks are taking Square orders on their display in under ten minutes, with no technician, no cabling, and no new POS to learn, because Small KDS works with the Square POS you already run rather than replacing it. If a tablet takes a hit from a pothole, swap it and sign back in; your menu and order history pick up right where they left off. New to kitchen screens?
