Bready* to make a change?
Toast is driven by building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love.
The kitchen is the heart of the restaurant, and the Toast KDS (Kitchen Display System) keeps it running smoothly when the pace of service heats up. Restaurants install KDS tablets at prep stations across the kitchen so everyone has a real-time picture of which dishes to prepare to keep service flowing. Kitchen operations are directly integrated with online ordering services so restaurants can jump on new orders and adapt to changes in demand. KDS data powers adaptive AI predictions that let guests know how long it will take to prepare their meal. Guests and waitstaff are automatically notified via SMS or POS when a meal leaves the kitchen. With the KDS, kitchens run efficiently with clear communication, minimal mistakes, high throughput, and quick delivery of fresh food to guests.
