🍳 KDS Devices (Kitchen Display System)
A Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a vital component for food and beverage businesses aiming to improve kitchen efficiency, order accuracy, and communication between the front-of-house and kitchen staff.
Instead of printing tickets, the KDS displays incoming orders on a monitor in real time, reducing errors and streamlining food preparation.
🚀 Benefits of Using KDS:
Real-time order visibility in the kitchen
Reduces manual errors from handwritten or printed tickets
Tracks cooking times and shows status indicators (e.g., In Progress, Delayed)
Improves coordination between staff for faster service
Helps ensure food is served correctly and on time
⚙️ KDS Setup & Configuration
⚠️ Please contact Clibase Customer Support to set up your KDS devices.
Once set up, you may customize the following options:
KDS Name Set the name that will appear on your KDS device (visible in the POS Advanced Interface).
Product Categories Select which categories of items should appear on the KDS screen and/or print to the KDS printer (e.g., Drinks, Grill Station, Pastry).
Time and Level Colors Adjust color-coded time settings to visually track order progress and delays (if supported by your monitor).
Order Slip Preferences Decide whether an order slip prints for each item and configure the print size to suit your kitchen setup.
✅ The KDS system keeps your kitchen organized, responsive, and in sync with your front-end operations—boosting overall customer satisfaction.
