Epson's TrueOrder Kitchen Display System is a digital solution designed to streamline restaurant kitchen operations by replacing outdated paper-based or inefficient electronic systems with customizable, easy-to-integrate display stations that manage order flow from food preparation to fulfillment.
The customizable views and intuitive interface allow kitchen teams to organize orders according to their specific workflow — whether at prep, expediter, or customer-facing stations — which could help to reduce confusion and enhance communication during high-pressure service times.
The TrueOrder Kitchen Display System has the ability to integrate seamlessly with existing point-of-sale setups, as demonstrated in its successful implementation at Fielding's Wood Grill through a partnership with Lavu. This means that restaurants can adopt this technology without major disruptions, leading to more consistent and reliable service.

- Tailored interfaces for prep, expediter, and customer-facing stations create opportunities for role-specific optimizations that streamline labor and task assignment.
- Seamless POS Integration
- Plug-and-play compatibility with existing point-of-sale platforms presents potential for rapid adoption and lower implementation barriers for legacy restaurant systems.
Who This Affects Most
- Full-service Restaurants
- Higher-volume kitchens could benefit from improved order visibility and coordination that enhance guest experience and table turnover consistency.
- Quick-service Restaurants
- Speed-focused outlets stand to gain from synchronized order routing and prep timing that reduce dwell time and increase throughput during peaks.
