We keep verifying each vendor's data, so some cells read "Unconfirmed" or "Not published" until we check them against the vendor's own pages.
A kitchen display replaces paper tickets with screens at each station. The first question is not the price: it's whether the KDS works with the POS you already have. Most kitchen displays only run with their own POS, and a few connect to several. The table shows that next to what two screens cost in a year, how orders are routed to each station, what happens when the internet goes down, how long the contract runs and what leaving costs. If a vendor doesn't publish something, you'll see "Not published" or "Quote only", never a zero.
We never add your POS plan to the cost: if the KDS needs a specific POS, the table says so and the review explains it. Switching POS just to save on kitchen screens can cost more than the screens themselves.
If you don't know where to start, estimate what your screens cost with the cost calculator, see the ranking and the rankings by type of restaurant, or read how we score kitchen display systems. You'll find all three in the tools on this page.
