Kitchen Display System (KDS)

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.

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.

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.
