When tickets look wrong on KDS

Last updated 2026-06-271 min read

Routing, timing, and what to verify before escalating.

On this page

Work through these checks in order before assuming a bug.

1. Same store and time

  • Confirm the KDS device is signed into the same store as the POS that fired the order.
  • Verify the system clock is reasonable on the device (extreme drift can affect ordering).

2. Routing and stations

  • If items appear on the wrong station, your routing rules or product mapping may need an admin update.
  • Note one example ticket ID or time to share with your admin.

3. Connectivity

  • If nothing new appears while POS is busy, check network stability on the device.

4. Escalation

  • If POS shows a ticket as sent but KDS never receives it, capture screenshots and approximate time of the order for support.
