Successful work of a restaurant requires well-organized operating of the personnel at all stages of client servicing: from taking to performing an order. Automation of sending messages from a dining room to a kitchen occupies a special place in this process. Besides, service-printing system is now widely used in restaurants. This means that each of its divisions has its service-printer to print collected orders.

Kitchen Display System (KDS) - a monitor to display the orders sent to the service-printer - has been developed to optimize more dining room-kitchen links. A cook uses a special device to manage orders. KDS is able to completely replace the service-printing system, or can be used as an additional device.

The information displayed on the monitor is simultaneously available for a quite number of employees engaged in production. The cook looks through the orders listed on the screen, and deletes them as they are performed, by pressing a corresponding button on the console.
