Logic Controls LS6100 Aldelo Kitchen Display System (KDS) Bundle for Order Processing & Monitoring in Kitchen
Aldelo Kitchen Display Server License required, INCLUDED
The Logic Controls LS6100 Aldelo Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a digital display system used in restaurant kitchens to streamline order management. Instead of relying on paper tickets, the KDS displays orders sent from the Point of Sale (POS) system in real-time, allowing kitchen staff to view and manage incoming orders more efficiently. The KDS typically replaces traditional kitchen printers and offers a more modern and accurate way of managing orders.
How it connects and works with a POS system:
-
Integration with POS: The KDS is typically integrated with the POS system, such as Aldelo POS or other compatible POS solutions. When a customer places an order, the POS system sends the order data directly to the KDS, which displays the order on the screen in the kitchen.
-
Order Tracking: The KDS shows details about the order, such as the items ordered, special requests (e.g., no onions, extra sauce), and the time the order was placed. This helps kitchen staff prepare food more efficiently and in the right order.
-
Communication with POS System: Communication between the POS and KDS is usually done through a network connection, either wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi), depending on the setup. The KDS may connect directly to the POS via a local network or through cloud-based systems, depending on your configuration.
-
Order Updates: If there are any changes to the order (e.g., a modification or cancellation), the POS system updates the KDS in real-time. This allows kitchen staff to stay informed about any changes without waiting for a new printed ticket.
-
Advanced Features: Some KDS setups allow for timers to track how long orders have been open, which helps manage food preparation speed and ensures orders are completed in a timely manner. It can also manage multiple kitchen stations, such as grill, fryer, or prep areas, by sending orders to different screens or kitchens as needed.
Cost Considerations:
-
Hardware Costs: The Logic Controls LS6100 is a durable touchscreen display, and its cost will vary based on the supplier and your region. Typically, a single unit may range from $400 to $1,000 or more depending on the features and configuration you choose. This price may also vary if you need additional accessories, like stands or mounts.
-
POS System Integration: The cost of integrating the KDS with your POS system will depend on the POS software you're using. If you're using Aldelo POS, it may come with integration features built into the software, but you may still need to pay for software upgrades, setup fees, or monthly service fees for cloud-based POS services.
-
Network Setup: If your KDS is running on a network (wired or wireless), there may be additional costs associated with the network setup, including routers, cabling, and Wi-Fi infrastructure.
-
Ongoing Software Fees: If you’re using cloud-based POS systems or subscription-based services, you may incur ongoing fees for using the KDS and POS system together. This can range from $50 to $200 per month depending on the system's features and your business size.
-
Support and Maintenance: Some providers offer warranties, support, and maintenance services. These costs may be included with the initial purchase or available as an additional subscription.
