Managing kitchen orders is often a real challenge for restaurateurs. Between accumulating tickets, urgent orders, and coordination between the dining room and kitchen, maintaining smooth and efficient service can be difficult. To address these challenges, we've developed a Kitchen Display System (KDS) integrated directly into your ZipZest interface.
What is a KDS and Why is it Important?
A KDS (Kitchen Display System) is a digital screen that replaces traditional paper tickets in the kitchen. It displays all incoming orders in real-time, whether they come from the restaurant or online orders, enabling better organization and precise tracking of each preparation.
An Intuitive and Practical Solution
ZipZest's KDS has been designed for ease of use. The main screen clearly displays:
- Active orders with their details
- Remaining preparation times
- A summary of dishes to prepare
- Orders ready to be served or delivered
The interface also allows you to:
- Mark orders as "In Preparation," "Confirmed," or "Ready"
- Quickly view extras and special comments
- Easily track order priority
How to Access the KDS?
Using the KDS is simple:
- Log into your ZipZest dashboard
- Go to the "Orders" section
- Click on "Open KDS"
You can display the KDS on any screen or tablet with a web browser. It's also possible to have multiple screens in different kitchen areas.
