KDS monitor

Trails — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 18:09:53 GMT

I want to put KDS in my kitchen but I have a hard time paying $900 for a 22" monitor.

Seems very high seeing as they are going to charge a monthly fee on top of that.

Not trying to be cheap but I can get a 22" monitor on Amazon for $75

Input?

I think the key is that it’s not just a monitor. It’s an entire computer. Something has to power what shows up on the monitor. The KDS is often the same or similar hardware as your registers.

You’re paying for that computer, the screen, and all the functionality that goes with it when you have KDS enabled.

Do you currently use the KDS monitor system and do you think there is a noticeable improvement in kitchen performance/ticket times??? We have gotten some requests for this system from our kitchen crew but I have worked FOH in restaurants for 20 years and paper tickets have always worked!
