tensorKitchen
Kitchen display and table self-order for F&B
Overview
tensorKitchen is the kitchen display and table companion for F&B businesses running tensorPOS. When a sale is saved in POS (and the connection toggle is on), the kitchen queue gets a live alert with order lines. Guests can also scan a table barcode to open a simplified cashier and send orders straight to the kitchen.
Manage tables with reserved status, generate a QR code per table, and configure venue preferences plus the tensorPOS connection under Preferences. Sign in with tensorAM — access with tensorKitchen, tensorPOS, or tensorFinance license. Mobile and desktop friendly at kitchen.tensorerp.com.
