Odoo 17 - Streamlined Kitchen Screen

Operating a restaurant efficiently and promptly is often the secret to successful management.

As an official partner of Odoo, DevReaction presents an inside look into the version 17 enhancements of the Odoo Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, focusing particularly on the innovative Kitchen Display function.

The restaurant industry is defined by fast and efficient service. To meet these demands, Odoo 17 presents an improved Kitchen Display feature that is designed to streamline your kitchen operations while simultaneously improving the dining experience for your patrons.

Odoo 17's Point of Sale (POS) introduces a substantial upgrade aimed at simplifying and optimizing restaurant functions. This version extends the functionality of the Preparation Display and Preparation Printer beyond the standard POS Restaurant module.



Kitchen Display, a critical element in the maintenance of a steady order flow in a restaurant has been made even more accessible in Odoo 17. It now appears prominently on the main page of Odoo Apps. This innovative module is designed to make your kitchen operations seamless and smooth, managing everything from order transition in the kitchen to order ready notifications.

To experience the full potential of the Kitchen Display feature, navigate to the Orders Menu on the Point of Sale platform. There, you will find a newly-added sub-menu exclusive to the Kitchen screen. 

This user-friendly feature allows the creation of a preparation display separated by product categories. Users can conveniently configure stages based on preparation timelines, readiness, and fulfillment – all within a few clicks.



One of the key highlights of this update is the provision for real-time information updates. As a customer places an order, the system activates the kitchen preparation display. 

The screen promptly showcases the customer’s name and their ordered items, ensuring your kitchen team is consistently synchronized with incoming orders.



The well-designed interface enables straightforward navigation between the item menu and individual food items. Selecting any food item will display all orders that include that item and the preparation time required.

The ease of managing your kitchen operations is enhanced tremendously with the Kitchen Display module. It provides a detailed overview of customer orders and product preparations while automatically adjusting preparation stages as per the set times for different food and beverage categories.



In conclusion, Odoo 17's Kitchen Display presents a sophisticated and futuristic approach to meet restaurant kitchen needs. There's potential for further enhancement, which will undoubtedly occur with time. Along with the Kitchen Display, Odoo v17 hosts an array of other features designed to meet various business requirements. Keep following for more insights into this capable system.
