As much as one is happy seeing his restaurant bustling with customers, he is equally under the pressure of managing and implementing orders. With the increasing complexity of menus and the demand for faster service, it is essential to have systems in place that can streamline the delivery of orders. This can be brought into effect with the help of an innovative technology called the Kitchen Display System (KDS).

A KDS replaces traditional paper orders and communicates orders to the kitchen electronically. Orders are sent to a screen in the kitchen, where chefs can see and track each order’s progress. They can also use the system to communicate with servers or other kitchen staff, such as when an order is ready to be served.

Ways KDS can benefit your kitchen:

1. Improved Order Execution: With KDS, there is lesser room for error. Orders are displayed clearly on the screen, with specific details such as modifications, special requests, and timing. This reduces the chances of miscommunication between the front of house and kitchen staff, resulting in fewer errors and improved accuracy in deliverance of the order.
2. Time Efficient: KDS improves order efficiency by reducing the time it takes to communicate orders and modifications. Orders are sent directly to the kitchen, eliminating the need for servers to carry paper tickets back and forth and the chances of lost or misplaced orders to ensure that orders are prepared and served quickly.
3. Better Communication: KDS enables better communication between front of house and kitchen staff. With KDS, servers can see the status of each order and provide customers with more accurate wait times. They can also communicate with the kitchen staff in real-time, providing updates and making modifications as needed.
4. Enhanced Customer Experience: By improving order accuracy and efficiency, KDS enhances the customer experience. Customers receive their orders quickly, and there are fewer mistakes, resulting in increased satisfaction and repeat business.

With the Kitchen Display System in effect, the whole procedure of taking and preparing an order is taken to the next level with the steps taking place electronically in a digitalised fashion. Not only does the customer feel satisfied with the accuracy and speedy delivery of the order but also the kitchen staff on the clarity of what is to be prepared in how much quantity within the standardized time making work flow smoother.
