Kitchen display system (KDS) for restaurants

A kitchen display system, or KDS, shows incoming orders on a screen in the kitchen. The Menuté kitchen display lists confirmed table orders in three columns: new, in progress and ready, with the table number, the dishes and any notes. It is part of the Pro plan at €39 per month.

How it works

  1. 1

    A guest orders and your team confirms

    The kitchen display shows an order once someone on your team has confirmed it in the dashboard.

  2. 2

    The order appears under New

    The card shows the table number, the order number, each dish with its quantity, and any note the guest wrote on a dish. A timer shows how long ago the order was confirmed.

  3. 3

    The cook starts preparing

    The cook taps Start Preparing and the order moves to In Progress.

  4. 4

    The cook marks it ready

    Mark Ready moves the order to Ready to Serve. Once it has been served, Mark Served takes it off the screen.

Frequently asked questions

What is a kitchen display system?
A kitchen display system, or KDS, is a screen in the kitchen that shows incoming orders in place of paper tickets.
Which plan includes the kitchen display?
Pro, at €39 per month. It is not part of Starter.
Do I need special hardware?
No special hardware from Menuté. The kitchen display is a page in your dashboard, so any screen with a web browser can show it.
Which orders show up on it?
Table orders that someone on your team has confirmed. Orders still waiting for confirmation, and orders already served, are not shown. It lists today's orders only.
Can the kitchen see notes such as no onions?
Yes. A note the guest wrote on a dish appears under that dish, highlighted. A note written for the whole order is not shown on this screen; your staff see it on the orders screen.
Do I need table ordering to use it?
The display shows table orders, so the two work together. Both are included in Pro.
