TrueOrder KDS Digitizes Kitchen Operations to Help Enhance Productivity for Quick-Service Restaurant (QSR) and Small-Restaurant Environments

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Epson, a market leader of POS printing solutions, today announced the new TrueOrder™ Kitchen Display System (KDS), designed with seamless compatibility and versatility for easy integration into point-of-sale (POS) systems compatible with an Epson printer. The TrueOrder KDS provides the ideal solution for POS software vendors looking for a way to optimize kitchen workflows in quick-service restaurant (QSR) or small-restaurant environments with fewer than 10 stations.

Epson TrueOrder KDS allows for easy integration into POS systems to optimize kitchen workflows.

“While many POS software vendors have recently been more focused on payment systems and less on supplemental components like KDS, restaurants rely on solutions like KDS for efficiency and accuracy, so software vendors have an opportunity to utilize a third-party KDS that can be easily integrated into their POS system,” said Tessa Kohl, product manager, Epson America, Inc. “The easy-to-use, fully customizable and configurable TrueOrder KDS is the high-quality solution that POS software vendors can brand as their own and sell to restaurants as part of a complete package.”

The TrueOrder KDS offers choices from kitchen, expediter and customer-facing stations, with views that can be configured to match existing workflows. The TrueOrder KDS comes with an intuitive interface that uses flexible grids and supports both portrait and landscape viewing. The system’s simple, browser-based configurator is accessible from most devices with a Web browser and allows POS software vendors to add a logo as well as customize layouts and colors.

Lavu, a premier provider of mobile POS and payment processing solutions for bars and restaurants worldwide, has had success integrating TrueOrder KDS at many locations.

“Lavu’s comprehensive product suite – including POS, payment processing and operational analytics – empowers restaurant owners and operators to streamline their operations, enhance efficiency and deliver an exceptional dining experience,” said Paul Stanley, logistics manager, Lavu, Inc. “The Epson TrueOrder KDS solution has been an excellent addition to our product suite with easy configurations and customizations to match our ecosystem, helping get customers up and running even faster.”

The TrueOrder KDS is compatible with a variety of display devices, including traditional bump bars, modern touchscreens or a combination of the two. Existing displays can be reused by pairing with a media player. For added flexibility, the TrueOrder KDS can be paired with an Epson label printer for use on take-out bags, to-go cups and more. This versatile KDS solution is easy to set up and integrate into POS systems and works on local networks without the need for an Internet connection.

Additional TrueOrder KDS Features
Designed with seamless compatibility and versatility for easy integration into POS systems, additional features include:

Digitize kitchen operations: Digitize food prep processes and help minimize paper usage while expanding back-of-house footprintCustomize defaults: Preconfigure specific elements to match existing ecosystem settings and help get customers up and running even fasterRoom for growth: Includes a comprehensive API and world-class developer support for more in-depth integration or advanced reportingEasy setup: POS-agnostic; compatible with traditional and tablet POS systems through printer emulation, with no software modifications or special licenses needed; connect to local networks with no Internet connection requiredFree POS integration: Provided free of charge by Epson when updates are needed for POS compatibility; usually delivered within just a few weeks Skip typical upcharges: No additional software cost for features such as label printing and custom branding

Booking.com’s Latest Travel and Sustainability Research Reveals Australian Generational Paradox

Published

1 hour ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
