Jaicome KDS 26.0.0 — Your Kitchen, Now Fully Offline & Smarter
A live Jaicome KDS board — tickets age and recolour in real time.
Key takeaways:
- Jaicome KDS turns any tablet into a smart kitchen display — no printers, no paper, no chaos.
- Version 26.0.0 is our biggest release yet: live urgency timers, a performance dashboard, recipes, digital checklists, and re-printing.
- It works fully offline and connects to your existing POS — no cloud, no account, no downtime.
The board above is the real thing — a live Jaicome KDS screen. Watch the tickets age and change colour as the minutes tick by. That is exactly what your line sees, and with version 26.0.0 it does a lot more than display orders.
Every order, timed to the second
The heart of Jaicome KDS is a board your whole kitchen can read at a glance. Each ticket is colour-coded by how long it has been waiting:
- New — just arrived, plenty of time.
- Preparing — the clock is running.
- Plating — nearly there, get it to the pass.
- Late — overdue, and the card pulses red so nobody misses it.
You set the thresholds to match your menu, and there’s a colourblind-safe palette built in so the colours stay clear for everyone on the team. Star a ticket to push it to the top, bump it with one tap when it’s ready, and recall it instantly if something needs a second look.
Know your kitchen at a glance
New in 26.0.0 is a built-in timing dashboard. Instead of guessing how service is going, you get live numbers:
- Active orders on the line right now
- Average prep time across completed tickets
- On-time rate against your target
- How many orders are late this very moment
A stage-distribution bar and a recent-prep-times chart turn every shift into data you can actually use to speed things up.
Works with the internet down
This is the part restaurants love most: Jaicome KDS is local-first. There is no cloud to depend on, no account to log into, and nothing to go down in the middle of a rush. Every order is stored right on the device.
Under the hood, the screen quietly impersonates an Epson TM-m30 thermal printer. Your POS discovers it on the network and prints straight to the display — which means Jaicome KDS works with Square, Loyverse, Foodics, LazyWait, and any POS that can print to a TM-m30. We validated this release live against a real Square POS on a physical iPad, from the first handshake to the finished ticket on the board.
A whole kitchen operating system
Version 26.0.0 brings three big additions onto the same screen:
- Recipes & SOPs — keep every prep, sauce and plating standard a tap away, complete with allergens, dietary labels, yields, and a printable recipe card.
- Digital checklists — opening, closing and hourly checklists keep the team on track, with photo verification and a supervisor-PIN sign-off. Critical lists can even block the end-of-day until they’re done.
- Re-printing — still need paper? Discover thermal printers on your network and re-print the original ticket, byte-for-byte.
Make it yours
Every kitchen is different, so Jaicome KDS adapts to yours. Choose light or dark, pick from five accent colours, and set the board density to fit your screen and your pace. Add sound alerts for new and late orders, pair a bump bar or keypad for hands-free control, and lock sensitive settings behind a supervisor PIN.
