Techniques and arrangements for facilitating synchronization of order ticket functionality utilized by point-of-sale (POS) devices with kitchen display systems. In some example, a POS device and a line buster device collectively receive a plurality of customer orders associated with a transaction between a merchant and plurality of customers. Based on individual customer orders, the POS device determines when to fire off the orders to the kitchen display system irrespective of the sequence in which they are received. In some examples, the kitchen display system then synchronizes with a customer device to provide real-time or near-real time updates on the status of the order.

Smart inventory tags are described herein. In an example, a service provider can determine interaction capability(s) for a tag associated with an item in an inventory of a merchant. The tag can be configured to be positioned proximate to the item offered for sale by the merchant at a physical store of the merchant. The service provider can receive an indication associated with a selection of at least one interaction capability of the interaction capability(s) and, based at least in part on the indication, the service provider can generate encoded information associated with the at least one interaction capability. The service provider can generate an instruction for generating the tag including the encoded information to enable a presentation of a user interface associated with the at least one interaction via a device operated by a user at the physical store of the merchant.
