What Oracle MICROS Simphony KDS is
Oracle MICROS Simphony KDS is a kitchen display system that receives and prioritizes orders and updates from restaurant point-of-sale systems, websites, and mobile apps in real time. Color-coded displays and station routing help direct work, while order status tracking and an expo screen show progress and coordination. Predefined cook timings split orders into preparation tasks and alert staff when ticket times pass restaurant standards. The Express Station 400 uses a 23.8-inch, 1920×1080 anti-glare display, offered as a PCAP touchscreen or standard LCD. Its IP-54 rating and stated operating range of -10° to 60° Celsius suit kitchen conditions involving heat, humidity, grease, liquids, and heavy use. Connections include USB Type A, 1G Ethernet, serial ports, USB Type C with DisplayPort capability, and an Oracle IDN port for Oracle kitchen printers. Optional accessories include a bump bar for standard LCD units and an integrated soundbar. Simphony uses dedicated display hardware and a hybrid deployment model. Pricing is available on request.
