Techniques and arrangements for synchronizing kitchen display system functionality with point-of-sale (POS) waitlist generation. In some examples, a POS device generates a waitlist using both front of the house data (e.g., data associated the POS device) and back of the house data (e.g., data associated with the kitchen display system). For instance, the POS device can receive input associated with transactions between a merchant and customers. The POS device can then generate a waitlist based on the input. Additionally, the POS device can receive data associated with order tickets from the kitchen display system. Based on receiving the data, the POS device can update the waitlist using the data. In some examples, the POS device updates the waitlist by determining a state associated with each of the transactions, and the updating wait times for the transactions based on the states.
