1. WHAT IS REVO KDS 2

We understand that kitchen efficiency is key to a restaurant's success. That is why we have worked to create a more powerful, agile, and customizable tool.

With Revo KDS 2 (Kitchen Display System), we stop working like a printer and become a kitchen management system. By improving its operability and usability, KDS 2 stops acting as a printer to expand its capabilities, adapted to each dish and to the needs of the business.

The KDS takes over from the POS in the kitchen, managing the operational workflow there with the same skill as the POS does in the front of house.

And when you add to this, as is the case with Cegid Revo, that the KDS is part of a comprehensive suite of technological solutions, the success is even greater.

The Kitchen Display System (KDS), being connected to the waitstaff's point of sale software, makes communication between the floor and the kitchen smoother. This technology represents a major step forward in operations: head chefs can quickly check the status of all dishes, and cooks can receive, read, and archive orders in just a few clicks, without needing to dig through paper tickets and minimizing stress for teams that are already stretched to the limit during peak hours.

Additionally, it is the only paperless method for managing orders, which reduces any restaurant's environmental footprint.




2. WHAT'S NEW IN REVO KDS 2

  • From Printer to Kitchen Management System: With Revo KDS 2, we have taken the classic KDS to a higher level, transforming it into a comprehensive management system for your kitchen. Revo KDS 2 stops being simply a printer handling "tickets" and becomes a kitchen management system that efficiently manages all orders, optimizing every stage of the food preparation process.

  • Larger and More Agile Display (iOS + Android - MicroTouch): Now with KDS 2, we can use the app on the new MicroTouch screens. Featuring an optimized size, they are fast, responsive, and easy to use. They adapt perfectly to your workflow, guaranteeing a smoother experience. It is now possible to combine iPads + Android Monitors. Click here to view the approved Android monitor models.

Important: As of July 20, 2026, Cegid Revo KDS can be installed and used on any device running Android 7 or higher. However, official technical support is only guaranteed for devices certified by Cegid Revo, whose models are shown in the link above. Uncertified devices will be identified with a specific indicator in the back-office KDS device list.

Requirements to use Revo KDS 2 on iPad and MicroTouch Android monitors:

  • Dedicated iPad and MicroTouch Android monitor: Install Revo KDS 2 on an iPad/MicroTouch Monitor dedicated exclusively to its use.
  • Power Connection: Make sure it has access to a power outlet to prevent it from running out of battery during service.
  • Always-On Screen: Configure the iPad/MicroTouch Monitor to never turn off, as this could cause connection errors when sending orders from Revo XEF. In Settings on the iPad or MicroTouch Monitor, go to Display & Brightness and then Auto-Lock. Select Never to prevent the iPad/MicroTouch Monitor from turning off while using the application.
  • Disable Notifications: We recommend disabling all Notifications in the device Settings.
  • For iPad, get the Revo KDS 2 app from the App Store. For the MicroTouch Android monitor, you will find the KDS 2 app already preinstalled on the device; if not, you can download it by entering the Google Play Store.
  • Static IP: The iPad device and/or MicroTouch Android monitor must have a static IP.

Assign a Static IP:

  • Go to Settings on your iPad/MicroTouch Monitor.
  • Tap Wi-Fi.
  • Tap the info icon next to the connected Wi-Fi network.
  • Select Configure IP.
  • Choose Manual (it should remain selected ).
  • Manually enter the IP address, subnet mask (usually: 255.255.255.0), router, and save the changes.
  • Go to Configure DNS.
  • Choose Manual (it should remain selected ).
  • Manually enter a DNS address (8.8.8.8) and save the changes.
  • Return to the previous menu by tapping Wi-Fi.

Recommended: The static IP should be outside the range of dynamic IPs assigned by the router or device managing the network.

Make sure all devices, including those that will use KDS, are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.


IMPORTANT:

  • You must have only one version of Cegid Revo KDS installed on each device. Simultaneous installation of Cegid Revo KDS 2 and Cegid Revo KDS on the same device/account must be avoided to prevent potential issues.
