The food and beverages industry has traditionally been slow when it comes to adopting innovative technology solutions. However, in the past years, the F&B industry changed its way beyond tradition as there are so many tech trends that have been going around, for example, the use of self-ordering kiosks, a cloud-based POS system, service robots, etc.
We might often come across articles talking about technology that supported ordering and payment methods, but is it often that we come across an article that discusses the technology that supports the back tasks in the restaurants?
According to (“7 restaurant technology trends to watch in 2021”, 2021) Kitchen Display Screen will be one of the needed techs for restaurant businesses, and in this blog, we will discuss KDS!
It is one of the ultimate tech needed to help your back kitchen staff!
What is a kitchen display system (KDS)?
Kitchen Display Screen is an innovative digital screen that communicates orders directly to the kitchen, making it easier for your staff to prepare and keep track of the dishes by replacing the printed or hand-written ticket orders.
The screen is integrated into the POS system so the orders will be sent straight from your POS to the kitchen.
Isn’t it convenient? No more printing order tickets! Your kitchen staff can see it directly from their screen!
The benefits of KDS
Better Serving Time
The serving time where your customer gets their order is an important matter. By serving your customer dishes late, it might end up bringing a bad impression on your brand.
With a KDS, it gives you the details of the orders. Starting from showing what is on the line and how long that order has been there. A bump screen prioritizes tickets that have been put up first and highlighted when orders need to be made. To ensure that the food is served while it is still hot and fresh from the stove!
Other than that, KDS can tag a special request such as dietary preferences, allergy information, and menu customizations. It helps kitchen staff to make the proper order and prepare them accordingly.
Clear Workflow
A clear workflow is essential, especially for the kitchen staff because the kitchen is always busy. The existence of KDS in the backend operation helps to increase efficiency, as the staff is allocated according to their stations, duties, and tasks. It means that the order can be created and completed faster.
Environmentally Friendly
NO MORE PRINTING PAPER
Printing off paper for your daily orders seems like not a huge expense for businesses or a waste of things, but it quickly adds up.
With a KDS, your staff don’t have to write on a notepad and give the order tickets to the kitchen. Just think about the amount of paper you’ll save by putting up a KDS in the kitchen?
and,
Recipe Notes
With Abacus Kitchen Display Screen, you can simply write your recipe by logging in to your backend system.
Your recipe will be shown directly on the KDS!
It allows your chef to train and hand on their skill to the other kitchen staff. Also, to make sure whether your kitchen staff have all the needed ingredients and equipment. It is meant to make their job easier!
There are many more advantages that you can get by putting up a KDS in your kitchen.

Industri makanan dan minuman secara tradisional sedikit lambat dalam mengadopsikan solusi teknologi yang inovatif. Namun, dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, industri F&B telah berubah secara tradisional karena ada begitu banyak tren teknologi yang telah terjadi, misalnya, penggunaan self-ordering kiosk, sistem kasir berbasis cloud, servis robot, dll.
Kita mungkin sering menjumpai artikel yang membahas tentang teknologi yang mendukung sistem pemesanan dan pembayaran, namun apakah kita sering menemukan artikel yang membahas tentang teknologi yang mendukung kinerja dibagian belakang sebuah restoran?
Menurut (“7 restaurant technology trends to watch in 2021”, 2021) Layar Tampilan Dapur (KDS) akan menjadi salah satu teknologi yang dibutuhkan untuk bisnis restoran, dan di blog ini kita akan membahas lebih lanjut mengenai KDS!
Ini adalah salah satu teknologi utama yang dibutuhkan untuk membantu staf dapur belakang Anda!
Apa itu Layar Tampilan Dapur (KDS)?
Layanan Tampilan Dapur adalah sebuah layar digital inovatif yang dapat mengkomunikasikan pesanan langsung ke dapur, sehingga memudahkan staf Anda untuk menyiapkan dan melacak hidangan dengan mengganti kan cara memesan yang dicetak atau ditulis tangan.
Layar terintegrasi ke sistem kasir, sehingga pesanan akan dikirim langsung dari POS Anda ke dapur.
Bukankah itu nyaman? Tidak ada lagi mencetak tiket pesanan! Staf dapur Anda dapat melihatnya langsung dari layar mereka!
Manfaat dari KDS
Waktu Penyajian yang Lebih Baik
Waktu penyajian di mana pelanggan Anda mendapatkan pesanan mereka adalah hal yang penting. Dengan menyajikan hidangan pelanggan Anda terlambat, itu mungkin akan membawa kesan buruk pada merek Anda.
Dengan KDS, Anda dapat melihat detail pesanan. Mulai dari menunjukkan apa yang ada di layar dan sudah berapa lama pesanan itu ada. KDS memprioritaskan tiket yang telah disiapkan terlebih dahulu dan diperjelas saat pesanan perlu dilakukan. Untuk memastikan bahwa makanan yang disajikan masih panas dan masih segar dari kompor!
Selain itu, KDS dapat menandai permintaan khusus seperti preferensi diet, informasi alergi, dan permintaan tambahan. Ini membantu staf dapur untuk membuat pesanan yang tepat dan menyiapkannya sesuai dengan itu.
Alur Kerja yang Jelas
Alur kerja yang jelas sangatlah penting, terutama bagi staf dapur karena dapur selalu sibuk. Keberadaan KDS dalam kinerja dapur belakang dapat membantu meningkatkan efisiensi, karena staf dialokasikan sesuai dengan stasiun, tugas, dan tugasnya. Artinya pesanan dapat dibuat dan diselesaikan lebih cepat.
Ramah Lingkungan
TIDAK ADA LAGI MENCETAK KERTAS!
Mencetak kertas untuk pesanan harian Anda sepertinya bukan pengeluaran besar untuk bisnis atau pemborosan, tetapi pengeluaran itu akan terus bertambah.
Dengan KDS, staf Anda tidak perlu lagi menulis di sebuah catatan dan memberikan tiket pesanan ke dapur. Bayangkan berapa banyak kertas yang akan Anda hemat dengan memasang KDS di dapur?
dan,
Catatan Resep
Dengan Layar Tampilan Dapur Abacus, Anda cukup menulis resep Anda dengan masuk ke sistem backend Anda.
Resep Anda akan ditampilkan langsung di KDS!
Hal ini memungkinkan koki Anda untuk melatih dan menyerahkan keterampilan mereka kepada staf dapur lainnya. Juga, untuk memastikan apakah staf dapur Anda memiliki semua bahan dan peralatan yang dibutuhkan. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk membuat pekerjaan mereka lebih mudah!
Masih banyak lagi keuntungan yang bisa Anda dapatkan dengan memasang KDS di dapur Anda.
