Why the kitchen monitor is superior to the receipt printer

Put an end to paper chaos - efficiency at the touch of a button

The classic receipt printer has had its day in the catering industry - at least where efficiency counts. After all, paper can get lost, become illegible or simply be overlooked. The kitchen monitor, on the other hand, is clearly structured, permanently visible and even color-coded if required - e.g. green for “in progress”, orange for “almost ready” and red for “urgent!”.

Advantages at a glance:

And best of all, systems such as Lightspeed and Vendomat integrate the kitchen monitor seamlessly into existing processes.

How kitchen monitors improve the day-to-day work of kitchen staff

Clarity, control, concentration

Working in the kitchen is physically demanding, hectic and requires maximum concentration. A well-integrated kitchen monitor ensures that kitchen staff can concentrate on the essentials - cooking.

Live updates instead of shouts

Who hasn't been there? Between sizzling pans, steaming pots and flying plates, someone shouts: ‘Another medium steak for table 4!’ - Chaos is inevitable. With the kitchen monitor, everyone can see immediately what's going on - without unnecessary communication that leads to mistakes.

Prioritisation made easy

Not every order is equally important. A business lunch needs to be served quickly, while a romantic dinner can take a little more time. Kitchen monitors such as those from Vendomat.ch help to prioritise precisely these tasks - automatically and clearly.

Why the Kitchen Monitor also pays off in service

Satisfied guests are the goal - and satisfied guests are the result of smooth processes. When the food arrives faster, hotter and error-free, the customer is happy - and comes back.

The kitchen monitor ensures that the path from tray to fork is as efficient as possible. No enquiries, no confusion, no waiting time due to forgotten receipts.

Is a kitchen monitor worthwhile for my business?

The answer is almost always yes!

Whether you run a small café, a busy restaurant or a large system catering business - a kitchen monitor quickly pays for itself. The investment is manageable, the benefits enormous:

• Fewer errors = fewer complaints
