If your kitchen is chaotic during busy times, with orders being missed and staff yelling, it might be time to make some changes. A Kitchen Display System (KDS) can help organize your back-of-house work, bringing order to the madness. At Card Systems, our KDS solution is so efficient and affordable, you’ll wonder where we’ve been your whole life. Here’s how it helps restore control in your kitchen.
First, it gets rid of the hassle of paper tickets. Because orders would be digital, there’s no risk of smudging, losing or misplacing them. The display shows orders as soon as they are placed and any changes are shown right away. You won’t have to deal with servers and cooks going back and forth or try to solve mysteries when a ticket disappears.
The accuracy also improves by a large amount. When a server puts in an order through the POS, it is displayed on the kitchen screen immediately. All the details you add, such as cooking temperatures and alternative sides, are displayed as you enter them. This helps avoid mistakes and guarantees the food served is what the customer wants [1].
Efficiency in the kitchen takes a major leap. Orders are sorted by the system according to when they were received and how urgent they are. Cooks can tell at a glance what is needed and when, so they can prioritize their work without wasting time or checking documents again [2]. The simplicity of the process reduces waiting time and keeps the line going when it’s busy.
You also get real-time order tracking. Knowing ticket times and order flow allows you to notice slowdowns and make changes to staff or prep areas in real time. This understanding allows you to work more efficiently and give customers a better experience [3].
It all starts at just $49 per month and is a simple way to improve things fast – with less confusion, more authority, and happier customers.
If you’re ready to take back your kitchen and ditch the paper clutter, it’s time to consider a smarter system. Reach out to Card Systems and find out how simple it is to bring structure back to your back-of-house. Call us at (239) 549-5055 or email at sales@cardsystems.com.
