Clear production columns
The kitchen works with three understandable states: new, preparing and ready. A count on each column makes open workload and completed orders easy to assess.
Digital kitchen display
Keep every kitchen ticket visible from arrival to handoff
The Hab so Hunger kitchen display collects table, waiter and online orders in one operational view. New tickets appear in New, move to Preparing during production and finish in Ready. Table, round, items, options and notes stay visible throughout the process.
Time, table and round
Tickets can include the table or order reference, round, entry time, products, quantities, variants and notes, reducing questions between kitchen and service.
Live alert and ticket printing
New orders can trigger a sound. Alerts can be muted, and tickets can be printed manually or automatically through the configured printing setup.
From incoming ticket to served dish
Kitchen completion and service handoff are deliberately separate. Ready means production is finished; served confirms that the order actually reached the guest.
- 1
Receive the order
A table, waiter or connected online order is loaded as a new kitchen ticket. A newly detected ticket can trigger sound and optional automatic printing.
- 2
Start preparation
The team moves the ticket to Preparing. The change is stored and sent to relevant views; an accidental change can be reverted.
- 3
Mark it ready
Once the round is complete, it moves to Ready. Finished tickets remain visible for a limited period to support a controlled handoff.
- 4
Confirm service
Waiting staff see the ready round in the table overview and mark it served after delivery, keeping production and service status distinct.

Less shouting and fewer lost details
Paper tickets are simple, but become difficult to manage when table service, collection and delivery run in parallel. A kitchen display organises open work by status, showing what should start next, what is in progress and what is waiting at the pass.
Production details remain on the ticket: quantities, variants, extras and notes. Table orders also show the table and round so two orders placed at different times are not mixed up. The view refreshes regularly and also reacts to order and status events.
Printing remains available as a complement to the screen. Sound and automatic printing are stored per device and can be enabled or disabled. The restaurant can therefore adapt the workflow to its kitchen, pass and available hardware.
For kitchens, passes and teams with several order channels
The kitchen display suits restaurants, bars, cafés, takeaways and delivery businesses handling multiple orders at once. It is especially useful when QR table orders and waiter orders meet, or when dine-in, collection and delivery are produced side by side.
The view is web-based and can run on a suitable display or tablet. Printing requires a compatible setup in the venue. Hab so Hunger organises the digital workflow; your team determines station layout, roles and hardware placement.
