Question 1

What is Truffle Kitchen Display System?

Accepted Answer

Truffle Kitchen Display System (KDS) is a browser-based digital order management tool for restaurant kitchens. It replaces paper ticket printers with real-time ticket displays that show every order, modifier, and prep timer on screen. Orders flow directly from the Truffle POS to the kitchen display the moment they are submitted.

Question 2

How does Truffle KDS handle ticket prioritization?

Accepted Answer

Truffle KDS includes priority, bump, cooking, and recall controls. Kitchen staff can move urgent orders to the front of the queue, mark items as cooking, bump completed tickets off screen, and recall the last bumped order if needed. Tickets also change color automatically as they age - white for new, yellow for aging, red for overdue - so the team always knows what needs attention first.

Question 3

Can Truffle KDS route items to different kitchen stations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Truffle KDS supports multi-station routing so items are automatically sent to the correct prep station. For example, pizza items go to the pizza line, drinks go to the bar, and desserts go to pastry - all from a single order ticket.

Question 4

Does Truffle KDS require special hardware?

Accepted Answer

No. Truffle KDS runs entirely in a web browser. You can use any screen - a wall-mounted TV, a tablet, a laptop, or a touchscreen monitor. There is no proprietary hardware to buy and no software to install.

Question 5

Does Truffle KDS work with the Truffle POS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Truffle KDS integrates directly with Truffle Quick Service POS and Truffle Table Service POS. Orders appear on the kitchen display the moment they are submitted from any POS station. The system also supports course firing for table service so the kitchen can pace dishes across multiple courses.

Question 6

Can I use Truffle KDS without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because the KDS receives orders directly from the local POS system, it continues to display tickets even when the internet is down. The offline-first architecture ensures your kitchen never stops receiving orders.

Question 7

How is Truffle KDS different from QSR Automations ConnectSmart Kitchen and FreshKDS?

Accepted Answer

Unlike QSR Automations ConnectSmart Kitchen and FreshKDS, Truffle KDS is 100% browser-based and runs on any screen without proprietary hardware or dedicated KDS terminals. It integrates natively with the full Truffle POS ecosystem including delivery orders from Truffle Connect, works offline, and requires no software installation. Setup takes minutes instead of days.
