Kitchen Video System
onePOS Kitchen Video System
“The flow of orders through the kitchen has improved and the feedback that I have been getting from my employees has been all positive. The employees agree that the video system is much easier to read than the old printed tickets and with the 2 stage times. The 2 stage bump also decreases the amount of food that gets made twice due to not knowing what food is already cooking.” - A Satisfied Kitchen Video Operator.
The onePOS Kitchen Video System meets the
needs of any type of restaurant or
your unique environment.
The configurable system can enhance order accuracy, reduce food waste, reduce printers costs and fees, and meet operational and productivity goals.
Easy to train
The onePOS KDS solution makes it easy to train kitchen staff on the timing and flow of your menu through the kitchen. Operators can even include detailed build instructions, such as the spec weight of individual pizza toppings based on the size of pizza ordered, on the prep displays.
Fast and accurate to use
Bump pads allow line cooks to quickly ac- knowledge new items that they are cooking and clear completed items. Automatic high- lighting in various colors indicate a change in an items status and flashes when delay thresh- olds are exceeded.
Manage kitchen operations
Intelligent routing of items to the appropriate prep stations simplifies kitchen management and reduces communications between kitchen staff to keep operations running smoothly. The software coordinates cook times and ensures all items within a single order are completed at the same time.
Tool to manage effectively
Reporting is available both in real-time or historical formats. This critical data is an excellent tool for managers, as well as an effective means to measure performance. By comparing speed of service information to sales and revenue, productivity problems can be pinpointed and eliminated, which helps to improve pro t. All actions within the Kitchen Video System are time-stamped and captured, and can be easily extracted in user-defined record formats for use with third-party applications.
