Expo
Expo is a third operational screen next to the kitchen (KDS) and POS: the workstation for the person at the pass who hands ready orders to couriers. Open Admin Panel โ Expo (admin.masamenu.tr/expo).
The screen solves a very concrete problem: six bags on the shelf, three couriers at the door โ who takes which bag?
The handoff queue
The screen shows pickup/delivery orders in the "ready"/"awaiting pickup" status โ that is, after the kitchen but before being handed to a courier. Each order card shows:
- a channel badge โ Glovo / Wolt / Yandex Eda / own website / own courier, detected automatically from the order source;
- the courier's name and phone, once assigned;
- an ETA (estimated courier arrival time) or a "courier has arrived" highlight;
- time elapsed since the order became ready โ so you can see which order is already getting cold;
- a one-line order composition summary.
Cards are sorted by courier ETA (soonest arrival on top), falling back to arrival order (FIFO) when ETA is unknown.
Handing an order to a courier
When a courier picks up the order, expo staff mark the handoff with one tap:
- for own delivery โ the order moves to "delivering" status (the same transition as in Own Delivery);
- for aggregators (Glovo/Wolt/Yandex Eda) โ the card is marked as locally handed over and drops off the queue; the aggregator itself confirms the actual pickup on its side.
Updates arrive live via WebSocket, with a polling fallback in case of a dropped connection โ the same as on the kitchen screen.
Fullscreen mode
Like KDS, the Expo screen is designed for a monitor that stays on at the pass:
- fullscreen mode and screen wake-lock;
- a sound chime when a new order arrives in the queue.

FAQ
Is Expo useful if the venue only has its own couriers?
Yes โ the screen is useful anywhere there's delivery or pickup. It shows both your own couriers and aggregator couriers on one screen, which helps with a mixed delivery channel.
Do dine-in orders show up on Expo?
No, the screen only collects pickup and delivery orders โ dine-in orders are handled through POS and the kitchen without a courier handoff.
How does the screen know an aggregator courier's ETA?
ETA and courier data come from the order data, updated via the aggregator's webhooks, or from own-delivery data โ Expo simply displays it.
