Kitchen Display System

KDS (Kitchen Display System) is a system of kitchen screens that display all orders in real-time from the dining area, your website, and platforms such as Uber Eats or DoorDash.

Orders no longer need to be sent to the kitchen using paper tickets.

KDS automatically sends orders to the kitchen, organizes them, and shows their status. This makes work faster, smoother, and better organized. KDS also eliminates the need for printed paper tickets.

With KDS, orders are sent directly to the screen, eliminating the risk of such situations.
