After running Toast POS for over 5 years in our restaurants, we're expanding our kitchen with a second Toast Kitchen Display System (KDS).
We've already been using one Kitchen Display Screen in the kitchen and another display for our front-of-house team. As our operation has grown, it was time to add a second KDS to improve communication and keep tickets flowing even more efficiently.
In this video, I take you through the installation, show you how we're using the new display, and share my honest thoughts after five years of running Toast in a busy restaurant.
This isn't sponsored—just my experience as a restaurant owner who relies on Toast every single day.
In this video you'll see:
Installing our second Toast Kitchen Display System
How our current KDS setup works
Why we decided to expand
My honest review of Toast after 5 years
What Toast does exceptionally well
A few things I'd still like to see improved
Whether I'd choose Toast again if I were opening another restaurant
If you're researching restaurant POS systems, thinking about adding a Kitchen Display System, or already using Toast and wondering if another KDS is worth it, I hope this video helps.
