Let’s face it, the heat of the kitchen can get hot, and we’re not just talking about the cooking. During peak dining, your kitchen staff is working super hard to track, prioritize, and prepare customer orders. You want an exceptional dining experience for each customer, and that includes eliminating unnecessary order delays and errors. When kitchen operations break down, your staff gets stressed and your customer’s dining experience can be significantly impacted which is not only embarrassing… but can be a drag on your restaurant’s success.
We all hear about digital transformation and how it continues to shape just about every aspect of our lives. And, while all industries have adopted new technologies to drive innovation – not all technology is created equal. Some technical solutions provide “nice to have” benefits, while other solutions are just downright critical to staying competitive in one’s industry.
For example, in the restaurant industry, nothing keeps the rhythm in motion more than smooth kitchen operations.
The heat should be on the burners, not between kitchen staff when problems occur preparing orders. You want items cooked to order with the correct side dishes – the first time. Special requests cannot get lost in the shuffle between the order taker and the preparer. When kitchen problems occur during peak dining, they can cascade into bigger problems… and before you know it you have one large mess on your hands.
Here’s the good news! With the latest Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) , you can avoid the unnecessary chaos in your kitchen and maintain the rhythm that is so critical to a restaurant’s success. These affordable fully integrated systems will eliminate headaches for your team while increasing smiles for your customers.
Customer orders are immediately fired directly to the Kitchen Display System, simplifying the ordering process by eliminating manual processes and printed tickets. Some restaurants have reported a 10-15% increase in sales during peak dining just by having a POS system that can handle faster order transfer to the kitchen.
