Un sistema de pantallas de cocina (KDS) reemplaza a los tickets de papel con pantallas de pedidos digitales que ayudan a las cocinas de los restaurantes a preparar la comida más rápido, reducir errores y mantenerse conectadas con los pedidos del punto de venta en tiempo real.

El Sistema de pantallas de cocina de Toast se integra directamente con el Punto de venta de Toast, con lo que permite enviar los pedidos al instante desde el área de atención al cliente hasta las estaciones de cocina sin necesidad de software de terceros ni sincronización manual.

El enrutamiento digital de pedidos, las actualizaciones en tiempo real y la visibilidad clara de los tickets ayudan a las cocinas a reducir los tiempos de los tickets y a minimizar los pedidos perdidos o incorrectos.

KDS stands for kitchen display system, a back-of-house digital screen that shows incoming orders to kitchen staff in place of printed tickets.

A POS (point of sale) is where orders are entered and payments are processed. A KDS is the back-of-house kitchen-facing screen that receives those orders once they're placed, so restaurants often talk about "KDS POS" setups where the two work together.

Kitchen printers print paper tickets that staff read, sort and pass along by hand. A kitchen display system shows orders on a digital screen and updates them in real time. Paper tickets can get lost, smudged or misread, and changes to an order mean printing a new ticket. A KDS updates changes right away, times every ticket, lets cooks mark items done and saves data on how the kitchen performed, which can feed into your restaurant POS reports. Many restaurants use both, keeping a printer as a backup or for certain stations while the KDS handles the main flow of orders.

What a kitchen display system costs depends on how many screens and prep stations you need, how they're mounted and how the system connects with your POS. Toast KDS pricing is customized to your kitchen's layout and order volume, so to get an accurate estimate, request a personalized quote.

An ideal kitchen display system works directly with your POS and online ordering, is easy for cooks to read and use during a rush, and holds up to heat, grease and spills. It's one of the core pieces of restaurant technology for any kitchen. Look for automatic routing to each station, ticket timers, clear modifier and allergy details, reporting on ticket times, and dependable performance during internet outages. Toast KDS is built for restaurants and works directly with Toast POS, so connected orders from your channels go to the right station and managers can track kitchen performance in one place.
