Kitchen display system

The kitchen display that answers back.

TableDesk turns an Android TV or a tablet into the kitchen's screen. Orders land the moment a waiter sends them, age from new to late where everyone can see, and the cook answers from the screen instead of shouting across the pass.

Readable from across the kitchen

Every ticket shows how long it has waited.

Tickets turn from new to cooking to late in colour, label and pattern, so a cook sees what is late without reading a word. You choose after how many minutes a ticket counts as late.

Decline

Say no, with a reason.

Out of an ingredient? Decline the dish with a reason and it goes straight back to the waiter, who offers something else or takes it off the bill.

Sold out

Gone from every menu in one tap.

Mark a dish sold out from the kitchen screen and it disappears from every till, kiosk and the guest QR menu. It comes back by itself the next day, unless you say otherwise.

TV remote

Bump with the remote in your hand.

Mark a dish or a whole order done with a TV remote. Bumped one too soon? Recall brings the last one back.

All day

Everything still to make, added up.

The all-day count adds up the same dish across every open ticket, so the grill knows it has seven burgers to go, not seven tickets to read.

Courses

Mains when the table is ready.

Hold the mains while the starters are eaten, then fire the next course from the kitchen or the floor. It goes to every station that makes it.

Alerts

A chime over the extractor fan.

A new ticket announces itself with a short tone and a flash across the whole screen. Switch either off for each station: a bar with music on may not want the chime.

And for the rest of the kitchen

  • One cook, several stationsThe cook who works the grill and the fryer gets one list, oldest first, labelled by station.
  • Pause a stationGrill down or bar swamped? Pause it with a reason, and every till warns before sending to it.
  • Expo screenIn a bigger kitchen, the pass sees each course whose plates are all ready, so runners take a table out at once.
  • Kitchen & bar printersPrefer paper? Drinks to the bar printer, food to the kitchen, from one order.

Kitchen display questions

What do we need for a kitchen screen?

An Android TV box plugged into any TV, or an Android tablet. If you can, connect the TV box to your network with a cable: it keeps the kitchen steadier than Wi-Fi.

Does the kitchen keep working if the internet drops?

With a box in your venue, yes: tickets keep reaching the kitchen over your own network. On our cloud, the tills keep taking orders and send them the moment the line is back, and the kitchen screen waits for it. How TableDesk works offline.

Can we keep our kitchen printers?

Yes. Standard network and USB kitchen printers work, and one order can send drinks to the bar printer and food to the kitchen.

How many kitchen screens can we have?

Every kitchen screen counts as a screen on your plan: up to 5 on Starter, 20 on Pro, and no limit on a box in your venue. See the plans.
