Purpose: Qu KDS replaces printed kitchen tickets with a screen that displays incoming orders from every channel and routes them to the station preparing each item.
Intended customers: Qu describes the KDS as part of a platform built for restaurants operating 20 to 2,500+ locations.
Order firing: The KDS supports fire on tender, fire on next, fire on fly, and manual fire or suspend modes.
Order routing: Orders can be routed manually or by rules-based load balancing to the station that prepares each item.
Item status: Item status synchronizes across production and fulfillment KDS stations in real time.
Order editing: Staff can update submitted orders directly on the KDS using dynamic order cells.
Connected channels: Qu says KDS receives orders from its POS, self-order kiosk, drive-thru, online ordering, and third-party delivery on one screen.
Offline operation: Qu says its on-site Qu Business Edge lets kitchen routing continue during a connectivity outage and syncs to the cloud when the connection returns.
Integrations: Qu's integration directory lists 150 integrations across categories including analytics, delivery, digital ordering, kitchen/KDS, loyalty, and payments.
Partner certification: Qu says its partner certification process tests integrations for reliability.
Security: Qu's platform page says unified guest data supports stronger security; it does not specify a security certification on that page.
Support: Qu offers 24x7x365 support and provides a help desk by phone and email, plus a customer knowledge base with documentation and training.
Pricing availability: The KDS page directs prospective customers to schedule a demo and does not state a price.
