Kitchen Monitor System

Kitchen monitor & order management system

The kitchen monitor system is a powerful way for restaurants and quick service operations to speed up service and increase efficiency in the kitchen.

Replacing kitchen printers, order displays are used to improve the consistency and delivery of customers orders, increasing employee productivity.

The kitchen order screen is connected to the cash registers or EPOS terminals in the restaurant via a 'bump bar' controller which is used to control the path of food orders through the kitchen.  

As orders are taken at the point of sale, they are automatically sent to the kitchen monitors via the controller. Orders are displayed on the screens, informing staff what needs cooking and when. Once the orders are ready, the bump bar is used to clear orders off the screens.
