Kitchen Display System improves the restaurant operations

Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a modern system designed for catering facilities.

It supports the kitchen management and improves the communication between the floor staff and the chefs. Professional kitchen management is indispensable in any restaurant.

Increasing the revenues and customer satisfaction

The primary function of the KDS system is to process order information. The information is transmitted in both directions. When the ordered dishes are entered into the catering sales system, they are displayed on the appropriate monitors installed in the kitchen premises. When the dish is ready, the chef wraps up the order with the use of a special keyboard, which then generates a message for the floor staff. If KDS is linked with the pager notification system, the waiter will receive the “dish ready” information to his pager.
