What I did

I redesigned the KDS, refreshing the system's visuals, re-organizing content & navigation, and simplifying device management.

Redesign Goals

  1. 1.Modernize the KDS with a cleaner visual design and more scalable design system.
  2. 2.Reorganize settings to improve discoverability and reduce configuration time.
  3. 3.Simplify dashboard management, making it easier to create, organize, and manage multiple kitchen displays.
