KDS, or Kitchen Display System, is a digital tool used in restaurants and food service operations to streamline kitchen workflow. It replaces traditional paper tickets with screens that display orders in real-time, allowing kitchen staff to see what needs to be prepared and when. This system helps improve communication between the front of house and the kitchen, reducing errors and increasing efficiency. KDS can integrate with point-of-sale (POS) systems, ensuring that orders are automatically sent to the kitchen as they are placed. By using KDS, restaurants can enhance their service speed and accuracy, ultimately leading to a better dining experience for customers.
