KDS FAQ
A printer produces a paper ticket that cannot be updated once it prints. A kitchen display system shows the same order on a screen, updates it when the order changes, and tracks how long each item has been in progress.
Yes. Qu's KDS receives orders from the point of sale, self-order kiosk, drive-thru, online ordering and third-party delivery on one screen, so the kitchen works from a single queue rather than several.
Routing rules assign each item to the station that prepares it, either manually or by rules-based load balancing. The rules follow the item configuration set in unified menu management, and item state syncs across every station in real time.
Yes. Every location runs Qu Business Edge on site, so ordering, payments and kitchen routing continue during a connectivity outage and sync to the cloud automatically when the connection is restored.
