TRIO Kitchen Display System: Efficient Kitchen Order Ticket Management
What is TRIO KDS?
TRIO KDS is a digital kitchen display system that shows all incoming orders on large, easy-to-read screens instead of paper tickets. It keeps your entire back-of-house in sync by updating order status in real time as your kitchen team prepares, bumps, and completes items.
The TRIO KDS ensures that you are on top of your orders!. The KDS integrates with the kiosk and the Customer Display System (CDS) to ensure that you receive orders from your customers and inform them once it’s ready.
Why restaurants need a Kitchen Display System?
Modern kitchens deal with orders coming from dine-in, takeout, delivery apps, and kiosks, which makes paper tickets slow and error-prone. A Kitchen Display System reduces order mistakes, speeds up ticket times, and improves communication between front-of-house and kitchen staff, leading to higher customer satisfaction and better reviews.
Real-Time Order Management
The Active Orders swim-lane view helps kitchen staff see all open tickets in a quick view, grouped clearly so nothing gets missed. The detailed order cards show items, instructions, and modifiers so special requests and dietary needs are easy to follow. The Future Orders and Closed Orders lists allow the kitchen team to plan ahead and also quickly review what has been completed, improving kitchen workflow.
Smarter Order Prioritization and Timing
The time-based and color-coded prioritization features make it easy to spot delayed or urgent orders, and help to ensure that the right orders leave the kitchen in a timely manner and in the right sequence. The built-in timers track the time it takes to complete each order, giving managers insight into kitchen performance. The managers can use these insights to identify bottlenecks that may be occurring. The All Day Items view shows a live count of everything ordered for the day, helping the chefs to manage prep, reduce stock-outs, and cut waste.
Bump, Unbump, and Call Features
Staff can still print orders as desired or needed, with the KDS’s ability to connect to kitchen printers. The ticket auto-print feature ensures that kitchen staff still receive printed notes automatically as orders reach the KDS. This helps kitchen teams that still want to use printed tickets and the ones that are in the process of transitioning away from them. The printer settings and location & connectivity indicators (with color-coded network status) keep the team aware of network connectivity health and ensure orders never go unseen.
Multi-Location Operations
The ‘Change Location’ feature lets the staff switch between venues, making TRIO KDS ideal for multi-outlet brands and food courts. The ‘Edit Menu’ feature allows staff to mark items as available or unavailable in a matter of seconds, ensuring that your menu always reflects real-time stock. The ‘Disable Kiosk’ feature temporarily pauses the kiosk from taking new orders during maintenance or other necessary breaks.
Reliable Offline-First Performance
The TRIO KDS is powered to work offline, as long as the kiosk and the KDS share the same local network, so the kitchen never stops accepting new orders. Once connectivity is restored, all of the orders made and statuses updated during offline operations will instantly sync up with the system again.
Customizable Access Modes
The dark and light mode settings improve readability and help kitchen staff to work comfortably in different lighting. The configurable order card sizes and clean layouts make it simple for all staff members to read tickets quickly, even in busy, high-pressure kitchen operations. The simple KDS login ensures only authorized kitchen staff are accessing the system. TRIO KDS’s cloud-ready design makes it easier to scale operations to multiple locations.
From Quick Service Restaurants to Fine Dining
TRIO KDS works perfectly for quick-service restaurants, cafés, food courts, cafeterias, bistros, restobars, etc. that need fast ticket times and clear communication. It also supports full-service and fine-dining operations that want better coordination between stations and more timely order fulfillments.
