A quick-service kitchen counter

The speed-first KDS for quick-service restaurants

In a fast-casual or quick-service kitchen, speed and throughput are everything. Small KDS pulls your Square orders instantly into a square kds app built for volume, and shows the same live queue on every screen you put on the line.

$10/mo billed annually after the $1 first month · unlimited screens
Prices exclude applicable sales tax.

High throughput

Handle dozens of simultaneous orders without missing a beat. Clear ticket grids show your team exactly what to build next.

Expo & line coordination

Put screens along the line and one at the window. Everyone works from the same live order list, so expo can pack and bag against the full order.

Budget-friendly expansion

Need to add another prep station for a busy weekend? Just install the app on another tablet at no extra cost.

Built for the rush

Why quick-service kitchens are switching from paper

One flat price, unlimited screens

Add a bump screen at every station, prep, expo, drive-thru, pickup, without paying a per-device fee. Your bill stays the same whether you run one tablet or ten.

Runs on the tablet you already own

Small KDS installs on any Android or iOS tablet already in the building. No proprietary hardware to buy, no long lease, no waiting weeks for a vendor to ship a terminal.

No more paper, no more guessing

Skip the printer, the ink, and the ticket rail. Orders appear instantly and clearly on screen, so nothing gets lost, smudged, or missed during a lunch rush.

Live in minutes

From download to first ticket in under 10 minutes

Connect your Square account

Sign in with the Square account your team already uses to take orders. No new POS to learn and nothing to re-train your cashiers on.

Place a tablet at each station

Prep, expo, drive-thru window, wherever your team needs to see what's next. Every screen shows the same live order queue.

Every screen updates itself

New Square orders appear instantly on every connected screen. No walking dockets around, no printers to keep loaded, no ticket rail to check.
