Notice online orders
Sound alerts help a new Shopify order compete with the noise and pace of counter service.
Shopify KDS for cafés
Keep Shopify café orders visible through the morning rush.
Turn incoming pickup and food orders into digital kitchen tickets that baristas and prep staff can prioritize from one shared display.
The operational problem
Short tickets still need precise timing.
Café orders often combine drinks, food, modifiers, and a promised pickup time. During a rush, a quiet online order can be easier to miss than the customer standing at the counter. Printing another ticket does not always solve the coordination problem between bar, kitchen, and pickup shelf.
Larkis KDS gives a café a focused view of Shopify orders with immediate alerts and flexible sorting. Staff can organize work without introducing specialized hardware or forcing every station to use the same layout.
What changes in practice
A calmer workflow for staff and customers.
Prioritize pickup time
Sort the queue and use preparation timing to make handoff expectations easier to manage.
Comfortable all-day display
Switch between light and dark modes and adjust cards for the screen and lighting in your workspace.
Scale beyond one station
Create extra displays when bar, food prep, and handoff need different operational views.
