In the bustling environment of a restaurant kitchen, efficiency and streamlined operations are key to success. Toast's Kitchen Display System (KDS) has always been at the forefront of kitchen technology, and now, with the integration of third-party Kitchen Remote System (KRS) bump bars, it’s taking a giant leap forward in optimizing kitchen workflows.
What is a KRS Bump Bar?
A KRS bump bar is a handy tool that helps kitchen staff manage orders more effectively. It allows for easy navigation through the KDS screen without needing to touch the display itself. This not only keeps the screens clean but also speeds up the process of order management, ensuring that no time is wasted during peak hours.
How Does the Integration Improve Efficiency?
- Enhanced Order Management: With the integration of KRS bump bars, chefs and kitchen staff can quickly navigate through orders, bump completed items, and manage ongoing tasks with a simple press of a button. This reduces the time spent on managing the KDS manually and keeps the workflow smooth.
- Improved Hygiene: In a busy kitchen, maintaining cleanliness is crucial. KRS bump bars minimize the need to touch the KDS screen, reducing the spread of germs and keeping the kitchen environment more hygienic.
- Increased Speed and Accuracy: The integration ensures that orders are processed quickly and accurately. Kitchen staff can focus on preparing meals rather than navigating through a touchscreen, leading to faster service and happier customers.
- Seamless Integration: The setup process is straightforward, allowing for immediate benefits without a steep learning curve. The bump bars work seamlessly with Toast’s KDS, providing a hassle-free experience for kitchen staff.
Real-World Benefits
Restaurants that have adopted this integration report significant improvements in their kitchen operations. Here’s what some of them had to say:
- Chef Marco at Bella Italia: “The KRS bump bars have been a game-changer for us. Our kitchen runs more smoothly, and we’ve noticed a decrease in order errors.”
- Samantha, Owner of Green Eats Café: “Hygiene is a top priority for us. The bump bars have not only helped us maintain a cleaner kitchen but also sped up our service times.”
