Kitchen display

Every order, at the right station

Stations

One order goes to three stations

The server sends order #41 from the POS. The grill and the bar see their dishes on a screen. The cold kitchen gets a printed ticket.

The POSThe server taps “Send”.

Grill Screen

Cold Printer

Bar Screen

Each station sees its own dishes. Dishes from other stations in the same order show in faded text, so the cook knows what goes to the table together.
The head chef picks “All stations” and sees every order on one screen.
Kiosk and online orders show up the same way as POS orders.

Screen or paper

Each station can have a screen, a printer, or both

Some kitchens want paper and others want screens. In Resto you choose per station. You can start with paper and add a screen later.

Example setup for three stations

Station	Kitchen display	Printer
GrillScreen only		No
ColdPaper only	No
BarScreen and paper

Resto prints on Epson and Star Micronics printers, and on other network printers that use ESC/POS, for example from Partner Tech. Paper is 80 mm or 58 mm wide.

Done

The chef marks a dish done with one tap

The chef taps a dish when it is ready, or “All” to mark every dish. “Done” takes the ticket off the screen, and “Undo” brings it back.

Finished dishes move into a “done” row, so the ticket shows only what is left.
Each bump is recorded in the order history, with the time.
Kitchen staff learn the screen with minimal training.

Courses

The main course waits until the server fires it

The server sends the whole order at once. The kitchen starts the starters, and the mains wait until the server taps “Fire”.

On the screen, the main course shows as “Held” until the server fires it.
You turn on courses in the back office and set the course for each item, for example starter or main.

Hardware

The kitchen display runs on ordinary Android devices

Any Android device becomes a kitchen display when you pick “Kitchen display” at setup.

Android tablet

Mount it on the wall or put it on a stand at the station.
Large monitor

Connect a small Android device to the monitor. The chef can make the text larger so it reads from a distance.

Common questions

Do I need to buy a special kitchen screen?

No. The kitchen display runs on a standard Android tablet, or on a monitor with a small Android device. You get the devices through Origo or use your own. See hardware.

Can I keep printed tickets?

Yes. Each station can have a printer, a screen, or both. Read more about printers.

What happens if the internet goes down during service?

Orders already on the screen stay there. The POS prints new orders on a kitchen printer on the local network, and they show on the screen when the internet returns. Read more about Resto offline.

How do I choose which dish goes to which station?

You set rules in the back office, by category or by item. The change reaches every device in the venue.

Do kiosk orders show on the screen too?

Yes. An order from the self-service kiosk goes to the kitchen display and the printers, the same as an order from the POS.

Do modifiers and notes show on the ticket?

Yes. Modifiers and notes, for example about allergies, show under the dish on the screen and on the printed ticket.

What does the kitchen display cost?

The pricing page shows example prices. You get the exact price for your venue in the demo.
