Queue Display System (QDS)
QDS (Queue Display System) is a versatile tool in LithosPOS designed to enhance the management of queues, takeaways, and deliveries. It displays incoming orders on a screen and tracks their progress through preparation to delivery.The system operates with two screens:
1. Master Screen
This is intended for kitchen staff. When an order is placed, it appears on the master screen with a status of "Preparing." Once the order is prepared, they can update its status to "Ready."
2. Client Screen
This screen is visible to customers. As soon as an order is marked as "Ready" by the kitchen staff on the master screen, it will simultaneously appear on the client screen as "Ready."
This ensures clear communication between the kitchen and customers, reducing wait times and improving efficiency in your takeaway and delivery operation.

Then click on the + Add QDS to add a new QDS with your POS.
