Highlight Important Orders

Easily mark critical orders to stand out, ensuring they get prepared first.

In a fast-paced kitchen, some orders need to be prepped faster than others. With Prioritize, Fresh KDS allows you to highlight urgent orders so your team knows exactly what to focus on first.

Instead of scanning multiple tickets, you can tap to mark any order as a priority, instantly moving it to the front of the queue with a flashing priority banner. Whether it's a rush order, VIP customer, or a time-sensitive dish, Prioritize helps your kitchen staff stay organized and responsive.

How it works:

  1. Tap the Prioritize button on an active order.
  2. The order will be visually highlighted on the KDS and move to the front of the queue.
  3. Kitchen staff can quickly identify and prepare it first.
  • Reduce Delays – Make sure urgent orders don’t get lost in the queue.
  • Improve Order Accuracy – Focus on high-priority orders to meet customer expectations.
  • Easy to Use – Tap to highlight orders, no complex setup required.

Keep your kitchen running efficiently by ensuring the most important orders get handled first. Learn how to use Prioritize in our Help Center.
