The kitchen display (KDS)
The kitchen display replaces the slip that gets lost or arrives late: every order appears in the kitchen the moment it is sent, with its preparation time and status, and the cashier knows when it is ready.
What is a kitchen display?
A kitchen display system (KDS) is a screen in the kitchen that shows the orders in progress instead of paper tickets. Its value is that an order is neither lost nor delayed on the way, that preparation time is measured so you can see where the kitchen slows down, and that the status flows back to whoever sold it.
How does it work in BayanLine?
- Live tickets that arrive from the till, the floor, the online menu and the store once the order is approved.
- Preparation time for every order.
- Printing on the kitchen printer alongside the screen.
- When an order is amended or cancelled, its ticket in the kitchen follows.
- What is prepared is deducted from stock by recipe, so the kitchen is tied to cost and the books.
