Fresh KDS Enterprise

Know which promises your kitchens kept

Fresh KDS is the kitchen display and performance platform for multi-location operators that provides order-by-order visibility into whether every location delivered on time, and what to change when it didn't.

The problem

Every order is a promise. At scale, you can't see which ones you're breaking, or what they cost you.

The promise is simple: the right food, ready when the guest expects it. Pickup at 5:30 means 5:30. Keep it and you earn the next visit. Break it, late, early, or wrong, and the guest rarely complains. They just come back less often.

Your reporting can't catch it. No guest experiences your average: two locations can post identical ticket times while one keeps your promise and the other swings between too early and too late.

Bar chart showing order completion times with most orders ready in under 10 minutes. Bars rise and fall peaking around 10 minutes with average wait labeled as 10 min. Dark pink bars represent 'Off-target: guests may leave' from around 18 to 25+ minutes. Light pink bars represent 'Too early: cold at pickup' at 0 minutes. Gray bars represent 'On-time completion window' from 1 to about 17 minutes. Text notes that a small number wait 20+ minutes, risking poor experience.

Your reporting can't catch it. No guest experiences your average: two locations can post identical ticket times while one keeps your promise and the other swings between too early and too late.

60%

of restaurant revenue is driven by repeat guests (Olo, from 100M+ guest records). After the food itself, timing is among the strongest drivers of whether a guest returns.

You don't need another dashboard that averages it away. You need to know, order by order, whether each kitchen kept the promise your brand made, and what to change when it didn't.
Why you can't see it

Speed of service isn't faster; it's the promise kept

The industry has chased speed of service for decades, and speed is the wrong standard. A pickup order finished eighteen minutes early sits in a bag losing heat. Every channel makes its own timing promise, and the standard that fits them all is on time: each order done when the guest expects it.

The tools you own can't show it. Your POS display records almost nothing. The systems that record everything pour it into a clunky reporting tool and leave you to find the story: thousands of numbers, none measured against a standard. Metrics without meaning.

"Faster"
One clock for every channel and every order
Early counts as a win, even as the food loses heat
Averages that no guest ever experiences
On time
Built to display tickets, not to measure performance
No view into how each kitchen actually runs
Often tied to proprietary or POS-specific hardware
Fresh KDS is built the other way around. The target comes first: every channel gets its own definition of on time, because every channel carries a different promise. Every order is measured against it. That orientation is what turns data into visibility: where the promise breaks, and what to change.

Not a display. A Performance Platform.

Set the standard, hit it, watch it, understand it, fix it, and take the data anywhere.

And everything the loop learns is yours to build on through the Intelligence API.

Set the standard

Define what on time means for every location and every channel. Pickup, dine-in, and delivery each get their own targets, including whether early counts against you. Set one location at a time, or push targets to a thousand locations at once.

Dashboard screen titled Salemtown showing order time status for In-Store and Online. In-Store times are categorized as Too Fast (0-2 min), On Time (2-6 min), Off Target (7-9 min), and Late (10-13 min) with color-coded bars representing these ranges and explanations for each. Online orders have Pickup, Off Target, and Late categories. There is a toggle for Early orders are Off Target.

Hit it, order by order

The screen works backward from each order's promise. Item timing holds the salad and fires it after the steak, so the whole order lands at expo together. On time, not early, not rushed.

User interface showing kitchen order management system with two sections: 'Not Started' listing three pending orders (Steak Sandwich, Bacon Cheeseburger, Double Smash Burger) all on hold, and 'In Progress' showing one order (Salmon Rice Bowl with Spicy Mayo) being prepared since 1 second ago. Popups display overriding item time set to 12 minutes for Salmon Rice Bowl, and a list of default cooking times for items from 7 to 12 minutes.

See every location, live

One login, every kitchen. Watch service as it happens, compare locations side by side, and see which orders kept their promise, down to the item and the station.

Table showing location data with columns for kitchen score, live status, open tickets, and lead ticket time for five locations: Salemtown, Downtown, Riverside, Germantown, and East Nashville. Salemtown has a kitchen score of 62, critical status, 14 open tickets, and is 6 minutes behind. Downtown has a 74 score, strained status, 9 open tickets, and is 2 minutes behind. Riverside has an 85 score, strained status, 5 open tickets, and is 1 minute ahead. Germantown has a 94 score, healthy status, 2 open tickets, and is 3 minutes ahead. East Nashville has a 96 score, healthy status, 1 open ticket, and is 4 minutes ahead.

Know why, and what to change

When a location misses, Fresh reads that day's execution record and tells you what happened, why, and the specific setting to change. A recommendation you can act on, not another report to interpret.

Two white notification cards with text about optimizing kitchen station workflows: one about fryer station throughput with a location tag 'The Gulch,' and one about reassigning salad station routing with a location tag 'Germantown.'

Make the change, everywhere at once

Knowing what to change only matters if you can change it. Build a screen profile once, group your locations, and push the update to every kitchen that needs it. One save. No engineering ticket, no screen-by-screen rebuild.

Popup dialog box titled 'Push to screens' asking if user wants to push Expo settings to 17 screens with immediate update, offering Cancel and Push buttons.

Build on the record

Your kitchens' execution data belongs to you. The Intelligence API delivers kitchen scores, on-time performance, and item-level timing to your BI stack, your warehouse, or whatever you build next.

Speed to value

Deployment shouldn't be a construction project.

Some enterprise kitchen systems arrive with an engineering team. Data models get built for each screen, at each location, and once the rollout is done, changing anything means scheduling another one. The configuration is the project.

Fresh KDS treats configuration as something you build once. Create a screen profile in the web app, assign it across your locations, and push a change to every screen the moment you save. No site visit, no rebuild, no ticket.

Simple to deploy and simple to change is why kitchens actually run on it. It's also why we can start with a pilot instead of a project plan.
How rollout works

Live in a pilot before most vendors finish the paperwork.

The pilot defines success before you commit to the fleet. If the numbers aren't there, you'll know in weeks, not quarters.

1

Pilot

Pick 5 to 25 locations and define success with us up front: the on-time targets you expect to hit and the visibility you expect to gain. Screens install on hardware you already know, and kitchens run on them the same week.
2

Phased rollout

Targets, station setups, and configuration push from above to each wave of locations. No store-by-store rebuild, no retraining tour.
3

Full fleet

Every location reporting against the same standard, compared in one view, with new locations inheriting your configuration on day one.
No proprietary hardware

Runs on standard iOS and Android tablets, so there's nothing special to source, image, or replace.

Connects to your POS

Orders flow in automatically from major POS platforms, including Square, Clover, Oracle Simphony, Lightspeed, Qu, and PAR.

Built for IT review

Endpoints, ports, and IP ranges are published up front, so your network and security teams can vet everything before install.

Your data stays yours

Every location's kitchen execution data is yours to export and analyze, at any point in the rollout.

A team through full fleet

A dedicated account team from pilot to full rollout, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA with service credits.
