eat·orbit Kitchen Display System vs Slant KDS

eat·orbit Kitchen Display System is the kitchen-order display component of a restaurant platform that also covers POS billing, QR ordering, table and staff management, and analytics. The KDS routes orders to kitchen stations and tracks them through New, Preparing, and Ready. KOT tickets can print automatically at assigned printers connected by USB or network. The maker says orders appear within two seconds through persistent WebSocket connections; order timers can change color after a configurable threshold, set to 10 minutes by default.

The KDS runs in a web browser and can be shown on a tablet, touchscreen, or wall-mounted TV with Chromecast or Fire Stick. The wider platform brings Swiggy and Zomato orders into the POS queue, with auto-accept and menu sync. Online UPI and card payments through Cashfree are listed on Growth and Pro. The service is cloud-based and designed for Indian restaurants, from single-outlet cafés to multi-branch chains. Starter is free but excludes KDS; Growth costs ₹999 a month and Pro costs ₹2,499 a month. Plans are billed monthly, with no annual billing currently.

Slant KDS is a kitchen display system that helps restaurant staff organize and fulfill orders. It shows ticket times and uses color-coded statuses to distinguish orders being cooked from those ready to go. Staff can inspect detailed tickets, including modifiers, use timers and alerts, oversee fulfillment, and filter orders by new, preparing, or done. Reports cover completed and cancelled orders. The system works with Slant’s restaurant platform; no third-party integrations are named. Slant lists customers across several food-service settings, including fine-dining and QSR restaurants, cafes, bakeries, food courts, dessert shops, food trucks, pizza and burger shops, and bars. It is cloud-deployed and offers offline mode. The display platform is web, and listed platforms include Android, macOS, Windows, and web. For the Android app, Slant recommends a 10-inch tablet or Android POS device and sets an 8-inch minimum screen size. The Free Forever plan is free and allows 100 orders per month. Paid access is $32 a year, billed per month per outlet annually, and a 14-day trial is available.
