Learn how the kitchen display replaces the printer and connects the dining room with the kitchen.

1What 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 customisable tool.

With Revo KDS 2 (Kitchen Display System), we stop working with a printer and it becomes a kitchen management system. By improving its operability and usability, KDS 2 no longer acts as a printer and expands 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 workflow there with the same skill with which the POS does it in the dining room.

And if, as is the case with Cegid Revo, the KDS is also part of a comprehensive suite of technology solutions, the success is even greater.

Because the kitchen screen or Kitchen Display System (KDS) is connected to the waiters' point-of-sale software, communication between the dining room and the kitchen is smoother. This technology is a major step forward in operations: head chefs can quickly check the status of every dish, and cooks can receive, read and archive orders in just a few clicks, without rummaging through paper and reducing the pressure on teams that are already at their limit during peak hours.

It is also the only paperless method for managing orders, which reduces the environmental footprint of any restaurant.

  • Turn off notifications: We recommend turning off all Notifications in the device Settings.
