The POS/ KDS Connection

 

Basic

The POS and KDS software platforms are designed to be compatible so that they can share information and deliver expanded total systems functionality.

 

Note that there may be some minimal additional training needed for the servers when migrating from a kitchen information system that is based on printers to one based on screens.

The KDS software must be carefully configured by the system vendor working with the chef or other team member that has intimate knowledge of all of the food items and the modifiers.

 

Once configured, the KDS software will recognize all of the different types of food items in the accompanying order including the modifiers or add ins and the preparation and cook times necessary for each item. The information is all processed instantaneously and then routed to each of the individual screens located at each of the various different kitchen production/work stations and to the screens located in the expediter area.

More info

Once a server enters a food order into the point of sale system the information is automatically shared with the kitchen display system software. The existing POS terminals and tablets thus become the primary source of data that is input to the KDS system.
