The order comes in. The kitchen knows.

Name: Veira Kitchen Display System
Brand: Veira

The Veira Kitchen Display System puts every order taken on Veira POS onto a screen in the kitchen, follows it through preparation, and shows the front of house when it is ready. The screen and the software both come from Veira.

Quick answer

The Veira Kitchen Display System is a screen in the kitchen that shows orders as they are placed on Veira POS. Kitchen staff see what needs preparation and update each order as it moves. When it is marked ready, the front of house can see that without walking in to ask. Veira provides both the hardware and the software, and the finished sale is recorded in Veira with the rest of the day.

A restaurant runs on things that have to be passed along. The order taken at the counter. The plate that has been standing ready while the person who needed to know was turned the other way.

Most of that passing-along works, and the people doing it are good at it. The trouble is that all of it depends on being heard, in a room that gets loud exactly when it matters most.

The Kitchen Display System takes the order out of that chain. It is placed on Veira POS and it arrives in the kitchen: the same order, in the words it was taken in, on a screen that does not get busy and does not look away.

How the Veira Kitchen Display System works

One path, from the customer to your records. Every step is something your team already does; the display is what stops it depending on memory.

What it changes, depending on where you stand

In the kitchen

Orders arrive in one place and stay there. What needs preparation is on the screen, and it stays on the screen until someone moves it on. Nothing rests on catching a sentence with your hands full.

At the front

You can see what is ready from where you are standing. No walking in to check, no asking twice, and no interrupting a kitchen that is mid-service to find out something a screen can tell you.

For the owner

Orders and sales sit in the same system. What happened during service is recorded as it happens, so the end of the night is reading it rather than reassembling it.

The screen and the software are both ours

Veira provides the Kitchen Display System hardware and the software that runs on it, built to work together and connected to your Veira POS.

That matters on the day something is wrong. There is no question of whose side the fault is on, no screen bought from one place and software licensed from another, and no being handed between two suppliers while service is running. One system to learn, and one number to call.

“Running a busy café means you need to know what is happening throughout the day. Veira gives us a simple way to keep our sales organised and stay on top of the business.”

Questions restaurants ask

What is a kitchen display system?

A kitchen display system, or KDS, is a screen in the kitchen that shows orders as they are placed, instead of the order having to be carried or called through by hand. With Veira, an order taken on Veira POS appears on the kitchen display, and kitchen staff update it as it moves through preparation.

How do orders get from the counter to the kitchen?

Through Veira POS. Your team takes the order on the POS as they already do, and it appears on the kitchen display. Nothing is retyped, and nothing depends on someone being heard across a busy room.

Do I have to buy the screen separately?

No. Veira provides both the Kitchen Display System hardware and the software, set up to work together and connected to your Veira POS. One supplier, and one place to call if something needs attention.

How does the front of house know when an order is ready?

Kitchen staff update the order as it moves through preparation, and mark it ready. Front-of-house staff can see that from where they are standing, so nobody has to walk into the kitchen to ask whether table four has gone up.

Does the Veira KDS work with my existing POS?

The Veira Kitchen Display System is built around the Veira POS workflow. Orders reach the display because they were placed on Veira POS, which is also what puts the finished sale in your records. If you are running another POS today, talk to us about what moving over would involve.

What does the Veira Kitchen Display System cost?

It depends on your setup, because the KDS is hardware as well as software. Book a demo and we will look at your kitchen, your front of house and how many screens you actually need before quoting anything.

The rest of the system

The Kitchen Display System is one part of how Veira runs a restaurant. The order it shows came from Veira POS, and the sale it finishes lands in the same records as everything else you sell.

Bring your kitchen and your front of house onto one screen. We will look at how your service actually runs before recommending anything.
