The manual processes used to create a lot of chaos and delays in serving the dishes.

How digital Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) system works?

Subsequently, the order details, termed as KOTs will be displayed on the screen in the kitchen. On the Kitchen Display Screen (KDS) the chef and the kitchen staff can see the details such as the food items ordered, the number of items, the time of placing orders etc.
