Fresh KDS combines modern kitchen displays with intelligent performance analytics to help restaurants increase revenue by improving speed of service and offering recommendations that optimize kitchen efficiency and workflow.
Transform Your Kitchen With Fresh KDS
Fresh KDS is a modern kitchen display built for restaurants that want to do more than just manage orders–we help you use kitchen data intelligently to optimize your entire kitchen operation. We believe a KDS is a revenue generation engine and that by correctly measuring and then improving your speed of service you’ll have happier guests, better reviews, more repeat visits, and higher check averages.
Rethinking Kitchen Performance
Average ticket time is an outdated metric that fails to capture the impact poor speed of service is having on your guests and your business. Guests don’t experience averages. They only experience how long their order took. Fresh KDS reveals how many guests waited too long for their food, orienting the data around your restaurant’s target or the quoted order ready time. But our platform doesn’t just show you data. It analyzes why certain orders were off target and provides tangible recommendations about what to do about it.
Boost Revenue Through Speed of Service
Improving your speed of service can increase both short term revenue by increasing throughput and in the long run by enticing guests to return more often. Fresh KDS’s seamless PAR POS integration, easy-to-read display, and station-level routing help kitchens prepare more orders on time. Intelligent order prioritization automatically sequences in store and online orders to maximize the number of orders ready on time.
