KDS

Kitchen Display System

The digital replacement for paper tickets in restaurant kitchens. These heat and water-resistant screens mount at different kitchen stations and display incoming orders with crucial details like preparation instructions, allergies, and timing information. The KDS coordinates order flow between multiple cooking stations, tracks preparation times, and alerts staff when orders are ready or running behind. Modern KDS systems can automatically route orders to appropriate stations, manage course timing for multi-course meals, and provide analytics on kitchen performance and efficiency.
