FAQs

  • KDS Integration
  • Kitchen Durability/Power & Reliability
  • Staff Workflow/POS Compatibility
  • Display Visibility
  • Scalability & Management/Customization
KDS Integration
  • How does the Multi-Port Cradle simplify KDS installation in commercial kitchens?
    The cradle provides RJ45 with PoE—single Ethernet cable delivers both power and data, eliminating power adapter failures from kitchen grease/moisture. 5× USB-A ports connect Bump Bars, printers, and scanners without external hubs. RJ12 GPIO enables kitchen automation integration (buzzers, lights). This reduces installation complexity by 60% compared to consumer tablets with multiple adapters.
Kitchen Durability/Power & Reliability
  • Is this tablet designed to withstand commercial kitchen heat, grease, and cleaning?
    Yes. The metal+plastic hybrid construction provides structural rigidity while allowing thermal management. Magnetic pogo-pin docking eliminates worn USB ports from frequent cleaning. Android 15 supports glove-compatible touch and system lockdown to prevent liquid damage from accidental app access. Optional IP54 rating protects against water splashes and oil aerosols.
  • What happens if the kitchen loses power or network connectivity?
    The 10000mAh battery provides 4-6 hours of continued operation during power outages. 4G Cellular serves as automatic failover if Ethernet fails—orders continue flowing via mobile data. PoE enables centralized UPS backup through the network switch, ensuring 24/7 operation in critical kitchens.
Staff Workflow/POS Compatibility
  • How does the Bump Bar integration work with the KDS tablet?
    Connect a USB Bump Bar to any cradle USB-A port. Chefs press physical buttons to bump individual items or complete entire orders—faster and more hygienic than touchscreen interaction. The magnetic tablet can be undocked for mobile use and redocked instantly—no cable reconnection needed. Front NFC enables quick staff login with employee badges.
  • Which POS systems is this KDS tablet compatible with?
    Pre-certified for Toast, Square KDS, Lightspeed Restaurant, Fresh KDS, and Oracle Micros Simphony. Pretech provides Android system customization to lock down the device—auto-launch KDS app on boot, disable status bar, prevent app switching. We also support proprietary POS integration through API development and custom protocols.
Display Visibility
  • How does the 2K 11.97-inch display improve kitchen operations compared to standard tablets?
    The 2000×1200 resolution shows more order detail—modifiers, allergies, special requests—without scrolling. 16:10 aspect ratio displays taller ticket lists than 16:9 tablets. IPS InCell technology provides wider viewing angles for chefs working at angles, and faster touch response for instant bumping. Anti-glare coating reduces reflections from heat lamps.
Scalability & Management/Customization
  • Can this KDS solution scale across multiple restaurant locations?
    Designed for enterprise deployment. Android 15 Enterprise supports MDM (Mobile Device Management) for remote configuration, updates, and monitoring. PoE standardizes installation across locations. Pretech ODM ensures hardware consistency and long-term supply stability for chain-wide rollouts. Magnetic cradle design enables rapid replacement if hardware service is needed.
  • Can the cradle GPIO and software be customized for specific kitchen equipment?
    Yes—core Pretech ODM capability. We customize RJ12 GPIO protocols to interface with specific PLCs, temperature sensors, or fire suppression systems. Pogo-pin definitions can be modified for proprietary peripherals. Android 15 firmware can be deeply customized with custom boot animations, restricted app whitelists, and branded KDS interfaces.
