Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE | TSX: LSPD) has launched its next-generation Kitchen Display System (KDS) to help restaurants streamline their operations and improve customer experiences. The platform is designed to meet the fast-paced demands of high-volume kitchens and is now available to all Lightspeed Restaurant merchants across the UK.
According to recent studies, 73% of Brits dine out at least once a month and 27% dine out once a week. As a result, restaurants are looking for technology solutions to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and enhance customer satisfaction. Lightspeed’s KDS offers a seamless connection between front-of-house and back-of-house operations, allowing restaurants to stay on top of orders, streamline workflows, and cut down on both paper and food waste.
Liam Crooks, MD of EMEA at Lightspeed, stated, “With more people dining out and restaurant operations becoming increasingly complex, technology is critical to maintaining efficiency while delivering exceptional customer experiences. Our next-generation KDS was designed to meet the fast-paced demands of high-volume kitchens. Lightspeed’s KDS empowers restaurateurs to focus on what matters most—delivering great food and service to their customers.”
The KDS is compatible with a wide range of hardware, providing flexibility for restaurants of all types. Its advanced functionality allows kitchens to efficiently prioritize and manage dishes, ensuring orders are completed on time, even during the busiest hours. Some key features of Lightspeed’s KDS include continuous operation, real-time updates, seamless integration, and cross-platform support.
One satisfied customer, Juan Pablo Mendez of Mimi’s Restaurant in Switzerland, stated, “The greatest value of the KDS is to eliminate all distractions. You want the chef to focus on the kitchen, the cooking staff to focus on cooking, and the waiters to focus on the customers. It’s a great tool to do this. When I introduced the KDS in the restaurant, there was a little transition, but after two days, they were asking for more stations. Now even the waiters want a station because they can see how orders and timing work. The KDS gives me an overview and very clear instructions of what’s going on—it’s digital instructions, which are the best.”
Lightspeed’s KDS is now available to all Lightspeed Restaurant merchants across the UK. It reduces errors, fosters better coordination between kitchen and service staff, and boosts overall efficiency—delivering an uninterrupted dining experience from order to delivery.
