What Our Customers Say

"GoTab gave Maui Brewing the opportunity to seamlessly transition from a table-service model to a counter-service model. GoTab accommodates all these things, whereas other systems we looked at couldn’t fit all of these models in one particular platform."

Tony Ren

General Manager & Partner, Maui Brewing

"When we switched to GoTab we were able to lower our labor cost percentage quite significantly but at the same time, I was able to increase wages 25% in 2020 and another 20% this year. We can get a beer or drink out, within 30 seconds."

Kent Birdwell

Pitmaster, The Blue Pig

Kitchen Display System (KDS)

How Do Kitchen Display Systems Work?

Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) streamline order management in restaurants by digitizing the communication between front-of-house staff and kitchen staff. When a server enters an order into the POS system, it appears on the KDS in the kitchen. The KDS displays the order details, such as items, modifiers, and special requests, allowing kitchen staff to prepare the order accurately and efficiently. Once the order is ready, kitchen staff mark it as complete on the KDS, and the server is notified to pick up the order for delivery to the customer.

Here are some key features and benefits of Kitchen Display Systems:

  • Digitized Communication: Ensures clear and accurate communication between front-of-house and back-of-house staff.
  • Order Accuracy: Displays detailed order information for precise preparation.
  • Efficient Workflow: Improves kitchen efficiency by organizing and tracking orders.

How does the Kitchen Display System work for fine dining venues?

Fine dining restaurants gain numerous benefits when using the GoTab Kitchen Display System. With dedicated spots and ordering zones, the GoTab KDS lets the kitchen know the location of every order submitted. That means the kitchen can handle the order in the most efficient way possible, and expedite orders to the front-of-house using the KDS interface. In-app support allows the kitchen to talk directly with a GoTab customer service representative, getting fast answers and resolution to any issues that arise.

What are the benefits of using a Kitchen Display system in a hotel?

Hotels gain numerous benefits when using a Kitchen Display System. With a system like GoTab, guests can place orders from virtually any location that they can place a QR. Whether it’s in a guest room, at the bar, at the poolside, or in a conference room. That makes it all the more important that the kitchen knows where an order is going when it is placed. With the GoTab Kitchen Display System, the order’s destination is automatically associated with its ticket in the system. This will allow the hotel kitchen to expedite orders with the highest level of efficiency and quality.

What are the benefits of using a Food Hall Kitchen Display System (KDS)?

Many Food Hall merchants can significantly improve their kitchen fulfillment by utilizing a KDS. Instead of handling manual tickets in the kitchen, the Food Hall KDS allows the kitchen to efficiently manage order fulfillment, providing complete transparency and visibility into the timing and accuracy of the orders. With GoTab for Multi-Operator Locations, Food Hall owners and operators can deploy multiple KDSs to as many merchants as they need. Each merchant receives their own KDS that they can customize for their specific offerings.
