Kitchen Displays
Tickets curl over the pass, the expo reads three printers at once, and the grill cooks in the order the paper came off, not the order the table needs. Kitchen display systems put every order on a screen at the station that cooks it, color the ticket by how long it has waited, and clear it with a tap or a bump bar.
Paygasus carries kitchen display screens in a line size and an overhead size that run on the same account as the registers and the self-order kiosk, sold outright, with the bump bars, wall arms, and countertop stands in Accessories. The guide below the catalog covers which stations get a screen and how to mount them.

A screen changes what each station sees. Paper shows the ticket in the order it printed; the screen shows each station its own items, in fire order, with the age of the ticket on it. The table shows what moves to the screen and what still comes out of a printer.
| The Station | What the Screen Does There | What Still Prints |
|---|---|---|
| Grill and fry line | Shows only the items routed to that station, in the order they were fired, with the ticket turning color as it ages | Nothing; the station works from the screen |
| Cold and salad station | Pulls its items off the same ticket as the hot line, so a plate finishes together | Nothing; the station works from the screen |
| Expo and pass | Shows the whole ticket in expo mode and clears it when every item is up | Runner tickets that travel with the plate |
| Bar | Drink items routed off the food ticket to the bar screen | Nothing; the bar works from the screen |
| Pickup and delivery shelf | Completed orders and order numbers for the handoff | Bag labels from a label printer |
A kitchen printer stays in the plan as the fallback when the network drops and for the paper that still has to travel with the food.
Screen Size, Routing, and Bump Bars on a Kitchen Display
A kitchen display is a screen, the routing rules behind it, and a way to clear tickets. The Clover Kitchen Display System is the current model, in two sizes chosen at order:
- ✔ 14 inch screen for a single station on a counter or wall where space is tight
- ✔ 24 inch screen for overhead installation on a busy line, readable from the whole station
- ✔ Item-level routing, so the fry station sees the fries and the cold station sees the salad from one ticket
- ✔ Expo mode, so the pass sees the full ticket and clears it when the plate is complete
- ✔ Color-coded order status and prep time reporting, so a stalled ticket shows before the guest asks
- ✔ Multi-level fulfillment and runner ticket printing, so a paper ticket can still follow the plate
- ✔ KB9000 bump bar support on both sizes, so an overhead screen clears without reaching for it
Bump bars, wall mount arms, and countertop stands are in Accessories and ship with the screen when ordered together.
What Arrives Ready to Mount
The shipment carries the screen and its power supply. The menu and the routing rules are built once in the same dashboard that runs the registers, so the screen shows the items and modifiers the cashiers already sell, and orders from the counter and the self-order kiosk land in the same kitchen queue. The screen connects over the location's network and runs on the account's software plan as an added device. Clover Care, a three-year device protection plan, is offered as an option. Shipping, returns, and warranty follow the shop's standard terms of sale.
Common Questions
Does a Kitchen Display Need a Software Plan?
A kitchen display runs on the account's plan as an added device with its own monthly device fee, not on a separate plan. The Clover KDS runs on the Restaurant Growth plan, so an account that adds a screen sits on that tier. The software plans page lists what each tier includes.
How Many Screens Does a Line Need?
One for each station that cooks from its own list, plus one at the expo to see the whole ticket. A small line can run on a single expo screen and route everything to it. Item routing is what decides: if two stations never share an item, they want two screens.
Can a Printer Still Run Alongside the Screens?
Yes. Runner tickets and labels print from the same orders the screens show, and a kitchen printer stays as the fallback. Kitchen printers and label printers are in Accessories.
Overhead, Wall, or Countertop Mounting?
Overhead on a wall arm with the 24 inch screen and a bump bar when the line is busy and the screen needs to stay out of reach. A wall arm at eye level when counter space is the constraint. A countertop stand at a prep station or the expo where the screen is within arm's reach.
