Kitchen Display System

The LS Kitchen Display System is an advanced kitchen production system.

A separate installer and license is needed to connect the KDS to LS One. Contact your LS One reseller for further information or the LS Retail partner portal if you a partner.

System highlights:

  • While orders are being processed in the kitchen, the POS is updated with process information.
  • Production lines can be setup in the kitchen where items flow from one kitchen station to the next.
  • Items can be routed to different parts of the kitchen and the routing can depend on which terminal or hospitality type the order comes from.
  • Items have a production time setting.
  • Users have full control of the process.
  • Bump bars, small keyboards that allows kitchen staff to confirm and move orders, can be added to the display stations
  • Aggregation groups can be used to count how many items in a certain group there are on the display.
