Whatever the size of your restaurant, a kitchen management system says goodbye to printed orders and hello to a digitised order system that communicates directly from the sales channel to the restaurant kitchen.

The restaurant of today is managing multiple sales channels on a daily basis. Demand peaks and it dips, depending on the time of day, and as the orders come in, it’s essential there’s a smooth flow as each order moves through the production process.

If you’re thinking of making the move to a kitchen management system, here are 5 fantastic benefits you can expect to experience straight away.

1.   No more errors.  Restaurant kitchens are busy places and there’s no getting away from that. It’s during peak demand that the busy nature of this environment can quickly lead to errors and a lack of understanding where each order is placed in the system. Paper orders can become mixed up or misplaced leading to errors that impact directly on the customer and the business. Kitchen management systems eliminate errors and transform the operational efficiency of the business.

2.   Products are prepared in the right order.  A kitchen management system sorts orders into logical queues. This is essential when orders are being received through different delivery channels, click and collect, kiosk and in-store dining. Once products are being prepared in the correct order, there’s an organised approach to the distribution of orders, individual dietary requirements are incorporated and there’s no unnecessary waste.
