What is a kitchen display (KDS) in hospitality?
Orders on a screen instead of on paper
A kitchen display, also called a kitchen display system or KDS, shows orders on a screen in the kitchen or at the bar. As soon as an order has been entered, it appears on the screen of the section that makes it. Tickets no longer pass from hand to hand, so less gets lost and less gets misread.

With iButler, orders via the POS, the QR code on the table, the staff handheld and the table tablet all go into iButler Kassa. From there, each dish goes to the right printer or kitchen screen, for example for sushi, grill, wok or dessert. Drinks go to the bar screen.
Per table and per round

For each dish your kitchen sets the status to being prepared or ready. The bar finishes the drinks while the kitchen carries on with the next round.
