Slant KDS
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.
