What is ExpoKDS?

A kitchen display system that runs in a browser.

ExpoKDS is a web-based kitchen display system (KDS) for restaurants that use Square Point of Sale. When an order is placed on the Square register, on Square Online, or through a delivery partner connected to Square, it appears on the kitchen’s tablets within seconds. Cooks see each ticket’s items, modifiers, notes, and order type, work them by station, and bump them when done.

It replaces kitchen ticket printers and proprietary KDS hardware. There is nothing to install on the register, any device with a browser works, and one price per location covers unlimited devices and unlimited kitchen stations.

Do I need Square's own KDS subscription?
No. ExpoKDS reads orders through Square's Orders API and webhooks, which Square provides for every account. Your existing kitchen printers keep working alongside it.
What hardware do I need?
Any device with a modern browser: iPads, Android tablets, laptops, or a smart TV browser. Most kitchens use tablets they already own.
How fast do orders appear?
Typically within one to three seconds of the order being saved on the register, delivered by Square webhooks. A polling fallback covers the rare late webhook.
Can each station see only its items?
Yes. Stations are groups of your Square item categories. Each tablet picks its station once and shows only matching lines. The expo view shows every ticket with per-station progress.
Does it work with online and delivery orders?
Yes. Square Online orders and third-party orders routed through Square appear with an order-type badge, customer name, and scheduled pickup time.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly plans cancel anytime. Annual plans are billed once per year per location.
