What is a Kitchen Display System (KDS), and How Does it Help Restaurant Operations (1)

A KDS replaces traditional paper tickets and handwritten orders with a digital screen that connects directly to your Point of Sale (POS) system. Instead of juggling printed slips or scribbled notes, your kitchen staff can now receive real-time orders displayed on a centralized screen, leading to faster service, fewer mistakes, and better communication between front-of-house and back-of-house teams.
