The kitchen monitor that keeps up with your events

How it works

From booking to kitchen monitor

One path from booking to the kitchen screen — no detour.

1

Book the event

As soon as an event is booked, Univents carries products, quantities and guest count straight into production planning.

No second entry in Excel or on paper.

2

See every item

The kitchen display shows every open item with quantity, status and notes — on any tablet or screen in the kitchen.

Everyone on the team sees the same state, in real time.

3

Set status & done

One tap moves an item from open to in progress to done — visible to the whole kitchen and the service team.

Full visibility without shouting across the kitchen.

Every item with real-time status

Open, in progress, done — visible to everyone, no shouting across the kitchen.

The kitchen display shows every production item with its current status. One tap moves it forward.

So the whole team can see at a glance what's already done and what's next — no matter how big the event.

  • Three statuses: open, in progress, done
  • Progress visible live to everyone
  • One tap to move an item forward

Quantities and allergens right on the item

Quantities are calculated from the event's guest count at booking.

For every item, the kitchen display shows the current quantity and all relevant allergens — calculated from the booking, not from memory.

When the guest count changes, you update the production list with one click — nobody has to recalculate by hand or write a new list.

  • Quantities from guest count, updated with one click
  • Allergens and notes visible directly on the item
  • No second list, no transcription errors

One change, one click — the kitchen follows

No switching tools — the same software as event planning and quotes.

When a date, quantity or product changes in the event, you update the kitchen display with one click — no re-entry in a separate system.

The kitchen works from the same data as sales and planning — no extra email, no shouting, no spreadsheet reconciliation.

  • One click, and the kitchen is current
  • One system for planning, quotes and production
  • No duplicate entry between teams

The whole day at a glance, anytime

How many items are already done today — at a glance.

Overview tiles show total, open, in-progress and done items at a glance — plus the status directly on each item, for kitchen management and service alike.

That way the team spots early whether it's on schedule, instead of noticing something's missing right before plating.

  • Tiles: total, open, in progress, done
  • Early warning instead of last-minute stress
  • For kitchen management and service alike

Frequently asked questions

Which kitchen display systems show caterers open production items in real time?

Univents' Kitchen Display does exactly that: a live view that shows every open production item with status (open, in progress, done) and quantity. Items are created automatically from booked events — no separate POS integration or manual entry needed.

What's the difference to POS kitchen display systems from à la carte restaurants?

Classic POS-based kitchen display systems are built for continuous order flow in a restaurant. Univents is event-based: quantities come from a booking's guest count, not individual table orders — ideal for caterers and event venues producing for whole events rather than single guests.

Do I need special hardware for the kitchen display?

No. The kitchen display runs in the browser through the Univents staff portal — on a tablet, an existing screen, or even a smartphone. No dedicated POS system or special device required.

How does the kitchen display relate to production lists?

The kitchen display is the real-time view of the same production items Univents also outputs as a production list. While the production list gives an overview across a period, the display shows the live status of every single item for the current shift.

Who is the kitchen display for?

For caterers and event venues that work on multiple items at once on event days — from the starter platter to the dessert buffet. Kitchen staff, kitchen management and service all see the same state, without shouting across the room.
