Epson KDS Overview

What Is a KDS?

A Kitchen Display System, or KDS, replaces traditional paper tickets by digitally displaying kitchen orders on monitors. With a KDS you can create a custom display of tickets, time track orders, and easily manage receipts. This article will give you a general overview of using a KDS. 

Prerequisites

If you are interested in installing a KDS in your establishment, please reach out to your Implementation Manager or the Arryved Support team to get started.

Limitations

  • Touch screen monitors are not supported. 

  • Monitors need to be Ethernet wired to your network router. Monitors do not work on WiFi alone. 

  • A PC Windows 7 or higher is required if you need to use the Configuration Utility. Mac not supported. 

  • You can customize color options for your Order Tiles, but color coding based on item types ordered is not supported.

  • 13 character limit per line in an Order Tile.

  • Tab Tags cannot be displayed in a KDS. (For example, togo, pick-up, etc.)

  • Does not indicate pick-up times from Arryved Online orders. 

  • Arryved sends orders to the KDS, but the KDS does not send anything back to Arryved. Reporting in Arryved will pull data from orders sent through Arryved Service as usual.
