Why Do You Need a Kitchen Display System?
The upfront cost of a KDS installation might put you on edge, but it shouldn’t. Like all good technology, the initial investment is offset by the ROI. With increased flexibility and digitization, you cut through human error and concerns about social distance while hastening operations, so in no time, the KDS starts to pay for itself.
Printed or handwritten tickets get lost, damaged, or smudged; that coupled with human error guarantees that your order accuracy improves with a KDS. Tickets appear onscreen as soon as they’re submitted, which improves turn times for speedier service overall.
COVID-19 has also introduced the sheer necessity of station routing capabilities. Already a perk because it streamlined service, now this feature allows line cooks to take their places at the beginning of a shift and not have to intermingle with their coworkers, thus reducing their risk of transmission. This additionally reduces contact between servers and back of house workers, which has become more of a necessity, especially in restaurants where dine-in service is restricted but ongoing.
Although KDS work great on their own, you can supplement their effectiveness with added components. Impact printers work great if you decide to stick to physical tickets in addition to a screen, as they print louder than normal to be heard over the noise. Depending on whether you buy Kitchen Display Screens for every station or mount one for them to share, you might also consider a wall mount or stand for the tablet for equitable access.
Get superior software that offers a customizable interface while meal coursing capabilities give customers as many benefits as you get from the equation’s business side.
