Every station gets its own screen: kitchen, counter, bar and the pass. Whatever has been fired stands large on the monitor — with table, course and running time. One tap marks it ready.
Explore the workflows
Kitchen, counter, bar and pass each get their own view. Every device shows only what that station prepares, sorted by arrival and course. You decide once which item belongs to which station — after that the POS sorts everything by itself.
Table, course, quantity, extras and your note such as “no onions” stand large on the card, with the time since firing running next to it. The kitchen taps “Serve” and the ticket moves on to the pass. Printed kitchen tickets speak the language of your business.
As soon as a station marks a dish ready, the signal shows at the till and on the waiter handset. One tap opens the table. Nothing sits under the heat lamp because nobody knew.
Takeaway orders get their own row: taken, in preparation, ready, handed out. On the pickup display the guest sees from their code when it is their turn, and your team sees at a glance what is still waiting.
The waiting time your guest sees at the table is calculated by the POS from the most recently measured preparation times and the kitchen tickets that are open right now. When it gets busy the number goes up; when it calms down it goes down. Forgotten tickets do not count.
Nova analyses what the POS measures: how long each dish takes from firing to the pass, at which station tickets pile up and which dishes slow the table down. The kitchen Copilot turns this into recommendations in plain words, such as prepping a dish ahead or taking load off a station.
LidoOS Copilot
AI from Nova
The POS measures times, bottlenecks and outliers. Nova turns them into the kitchen analysis, and the kitchen Copilot writes recommendations for you — what you act on is your call.
The Copilot suggests. It changes nothing on your menu or your tickets.
No AI works inside the kitchen itself: tickets, order and ready signals run as usual.
New: the KDS tablet
Since October 2026 the kitchen display also runs on tablets: two tickets in focus, the list of all tickets at the tap of a button, starters and desserts pulled forward with one tap. Prep shows the open portions per dish with totals, expo and pass collect what is ready — and when you mark an item ready you can print a pass ticket. Settings apply per device.
Nova ↔ POS
You maintain menu, stations and devices in Nova. What happens in the kitchen comes back as figures.
The limits
Every item needs its station so the ticket lands on the right screen. You pair each screen once with its place and station, and kitchen printers need a spot on your network. Setting up needs the internet once.
