Kitchen Display System

LS One can now be connected to the LS Kitchen Display System, which is an advanced kitchen production system.

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.

System overview

The LS Kitchen Display System is configured in the Site Manager. The kitchen service gets the configuration settings through the Site Service.

The appearance and functionality of the KDS is highly configurable and all settings are grouped into profiles that can then be applied to the different display stations.

The configurations are done in the KDS Site Manager plugin that is installed and licensed separately from the Standard LS One license. The new plugin adds a new category to the Site Manager > Hospitality tab.

The plugin also adds a Kitchen display system tab to the Site Service profile, Store view, Terminal view and a hospitality tab on the item view.

Table management

The table statuses in the LS One hospitality POS have been edited and added to for the KDS integration.

Available table - The table is free to seat guests and no order is pending on the table Guests seated - the table is not free but no order has been placed.
Order sent - The order has been sent to the Kitchen and the small box icon shows the status of the Kitchen. Order started - the kitchen as started working on the order. Either an item has been bumped from any station or the start button has been pressed.
Order finished - All items that were sent to the kitchen have been bumped on all stations.    

Free trial installer
