The problem with traditional KDS in hotels
- Kitchen screens donβt understand room numbers or villa names.
- Bar, kitchen, and service teams work in silos.
- Staff rely on calls, radios, or ad-hoc WhatsApp groups.
- Guests chase updates instead of receiving them automatically.
- Management lacks real-time visibility.
Hotel service is multi-step and multi-location. SDS exists because KDS stops too early.
