In an ever-evolving hospitality landscape, businesses are recognising the need for digital transformation — and one of the most impactful innovations is the new SENPOS Kitchen Display software. Designed to streamline kitchen operations, this intelligent solution helps minimise delays, reduce order inaccuracies, and prevent communication breakdowns, ultimately enhancing service efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Why should your venue go digital in the kitchen?
For years, paper dockets have dominated commercial kitchens, placing the responsibility on staff to manually create, prioritise, and organise orders. In a fast-paced environment, time is money — and misplaced dockets or delayed communication can lead to frustrated customers and overwhelmed staff. Relying on paper can slow service, increase errors, and add unnecessary stress during peak periods.
SENPOS Kitchen Displays offer a smart, digital alternative by replacing traditional paper processes with a streamlined system that integrates directly with your point-of-sale (POS) system. For managers, this means smoother operations, clearer communication between front and back-of-house teams, and greater control over kitchen workflows.
Key features designed to boost operational efficiency
At the core of the SENPOS Kitchen Display software is an organised, easy-to-read docket view with colour-coded visual alerts. This allows kitchen staff to monitor the progress of every order in real-time, reducing confusion and boosting productivity. For venue owners and managers, the software provides the tools needed to enhance kitchen operations. Key features include:
- All-day count sidebar: Instantly view the rolling total of items on active dockets — a valuable feature for tracking specials or monitoring stock levels.
- Merge dockets: Combine orders from larger groups or tables, ensuring meals are prepared and served simultaneously, improving the customer experience.
- Multiple preparation statuses: Real-time status updates keep kitchen stations aligned, from the grill to the cold prep area.
- Group pass function: Prevent partial dockets from being sent out by holding orders until all items are ready — maintaining consistency and quality.
- Hide passed items: Automatically remove completed orders from the display, keeping the screen focused and clutter-free for staff.
SENPOS Kitchen Displays are scalable to suit kitchens of any size — from bistros and cafés to bars and full-service restaurants — seamlessly integrating into your existing setup. Robust reporting tools also provide valuable data to track service performance, helping decision-makers identify areas for further improvement.
Boost your operations
Beyond order management, SENPOS Kitchen Displays bring additional benefits that directly impact your bottom line and operational success:
- User-friendly, durable design: Built for high-pressure kitchen environments, the 22-inch capacitive touchscreen is both tough and responsive. Its intuitive interface requires minimal training, meaning your team can adapt quickly and efficiently.
- Seamless integration across SENPOS outlets: SENPOS Kitchen Displays connect with all SENPOS ordering outlets — including POS terminals, our handheld POS device SENPOS GO, the QR code online ordering platform OrderToGo, and tablets — ensuring a smooth, centralised ordering system.
- Eco-friendly and cost-effective: Transitioning from paper to digital doesn’t just enhance efficiency — it also reduces your environmental footprint. Eliminating paper dockets means less waste and fewer expenses tied to printing supplies.
- Data-driven decision-making: Service performance reports — such as average wait times — provide managers with actionable insights. This allows you to address bottlenecks, optimise staffing, and deliver consistently high-quality service.
