Transform Kitchen Operations Through Digital Workflow Automation

Whether you are running a quick-service restaurant (QSR) or a small restaurant operation, nothing impacts business success more than efficiency, accuracy, and clear communication. Relying on paper tickets and manual processes are outdated operating workflow that slow down service and introduce costly errors. Modern kitchen operations require digitization solutions—like the Epson® TrueOrder™ Kitchen Display System (KDS) offered by Levata—that deliver an affordable, easy-to-install, and highly configurable solution designed to improve overall kitchen operation performance.

From order entry through food preparation and fulfillment, TrueOrder KDS helps restaurants reduce mistakes, minimize paper usage, and keep teams aligned during peak service times. Built specifically for demanding restaurant environments, it combines intuitive software with flexible hardware support to fit a wide range of kitchen layouts and workflows.

Designed for Real-World Kitchen Operations

At the core of TrueOrder is its ability to adapt to how your kitchen actually works. The system supports up to nine stations, allowing orders to be intelligently routed to the right prep areas for parallel processing. This enables kitchens to optimize throughput, reduce bottlenecks, and ensure each station focuses on what it does best.

Customizable display views are available for kitchen staff, expediters, and customer-facing displays, all operated through intuitive touch controls or traditional bump bars. Flexible grid layouts make it easy to highlight key order details, prioritize items, and keep teams focused on what matters most during service. For restaurants that want to reinforce their brand, logos can be added directly to displays for a consistent, professional look.
