Collection Display
A customer-facing screen showing which orders are being prepared and which are ready to collect — with large order numbers visible from across the room.
What is the Collection Display?
The Collection Display is a full-screen board that customers watch while waiting for their order. It works like the screens you see in McDonald's, Wetherspoons and other quick service restaurants — orders move from the Being Prepared column to the Ready to Collect column when kitchen staff mark them as complete.
Order numbers are shown large enough to read from across a café or restaurant floor. When an order moves to Ready, the display briefly flashes the number so customers don't miss it.
Opening the Collection Display
Open a browser on any screen on your local network and go to:
For the best experience, go fullscreen with F11 (Windows/Linux) or Control + Command + F (Mac). Mount the screen where customers can see it easily — behind the counter or above the collection point.
How it works
- Cashier completes a sale — order number assigned (e.g. #42)
- Ticket appears on the Order Display in the kitchen with #42 at the top
- Order #42 appears in the Being Prepared column on the Collection Display in amber
- Kitchen staff work through the order and tap the advance button
- Order #42 moves to the Ready to Collect column in green — display flashes briefly
- Customer sees their number turn green and collects their order
- Cashier taps Collected on the Order Display — order disappears from the Collection Display
Business type labels
The Collection Display adapts its labels to your business type:
| Business type | Preparing column | Ready column |
|---|---|---|
| Hospitality | 👨🍳 Being Prepared | ✅ Ready to Collect |
| Retail | 📦 Being Picked | ✅ Ready to Collect |
Live updates
The Collection Display connects to QuickPOS via a live stream — updates appear instantly when kitchen staff advance a ticket, with no page refresh needed. If the connection drops, it reconnects automatically within a few seconds.
