TouchBistro KDS

NEW YORK, NEW YORK and TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Dec 21, 2015) – TouchBistro has reimagined its iPad-based point-of-sale (POS) app for restaurants and bars to take advantage of the bigger 12.9 inch iPad Pro screen. The new TouchBistro 7.0, which will be available on the Apple App Store in January, ensures faster and more efficient order entry at the waiter station on the iPad Pro display, which is 78 percent larger than the 9.7 inch display of the iPad Air 2.

The iPad Pro screen offers the highest resolution (5.6 million pixels) of any iOS device. With the larger screen and resolution, TouchBistro now provides a Sharp pos terminal up-v5500 series manual that is easier to read, shows more information, and is in a format more familiar to wait staff that have experience using the bigger screens on dated legacy systems at high-end restaurants. TouchBistro 7.0 also allows unlimited menus, and supports bigger floor plans for larger restaurants.

TouchBistro 7.0 can still be used on an iPad Mini by wait staff for mobile table-side order entry and payment processing. It provides restaurateurs and bar managers a greater choice of iPad Sharp pos terminal up-v5500 series manual configurations from TouchBistro to support operations and customer service in the exact way they want to do business.

“TouchBistro 7.0 takes advantage of the speed and technological advances in the iPad Pro, and makes them accessible to restaurants and bars in a truly innovative POS solution that is designed to be used as the heart and operating system of food service operations of all sizes, ” said Alex Barrotti, CEO and founder of TouchBistro. “With waiter conveniences like an optional right- or left-hand interface, to major features like unlimited menus and floor plans, to accepting payments of all kinds including digital and EMV chip and pin cards, TouchBistro is committed to engineering the best technology into an affordable, easy-to-use, and flexible package that provides the exact functionality a flourishing restaurant needs.”

TouchBistro is also expanding its suite of products with the introduction of its new Kitchen Display System (KDS), Customer Facing Display (CFD) and Menu App. The Kitchen Display System improves restaurant efficiency by displaying orders that have been electronically entered at the waiter station or table-side and received wirelessly on an iPad installed in the kitchen. This not only eliminates the cost spent on paper each month for printed chits, but also helps maintain a less cluttered and more coordinated kitchen prep area for multiple chefs or prep staff working together to provide the most efficient service to customers.
