Small KDS vs Fresh KDS
Compare Small KDS with Fresh KDS. Small KDS is designed for businesses looking for a flexible kitchen display system that runs on iPad or Android, using a simple per-location subscription model with unlimited screens.
Both are built for restaurants that want a modern bump screen instead of a printer, but the pricing shapes how much a busy kitchen actually pays.
Fresh KDS charges per screen, so a bump bar kitchen with a make line, expo, and bar screen adds up fast; Small KDS charges once per location and lets you add as many screens as your kitchen needs.
