xRESTAURANTx Kitchen Display System
What it is
xRESTAURANTx Kitchen Display System routes restaurant orders to kitchen stations and supports course pacing, modifier display, and prep-time estimates. Operators can direct tickets to stations such as cold, hot, sauté, expo, pastry, cold bar, and hot bar, with layouts configured for different stations. The system can hold entrées and release mains on a captain’s call, using pacing rules set by menu section. Modifiers appear as separate markers on tickets, and staff can recall tickets with one tap.
Each dish can have average and P95 prep times; expo can see estimated pickup times and warnings for long courses. Tickets can print if the KDS tablet fails, while the KDS can continue if the printer fails. The vendor says the KDS and POS communicate over a local network during internet outages, then sync accumulated data when connectivity returns. It also supports sending tickets to a legacy KDS through industry-standard printing formats. The system runs on Android tablets; the vendor recommends rugged models with kitchen-grade cases. Pricing is available on request.
