KDS A5II: Built for the Heat of the Kitchen
Say goodbye to outdated printer and paper-based order systems. This kitchen display system (KDS) eliminates the need for printer consumables, cutting ongoing costs and reducing clutter.

The KDS A5II is a rugged, restaurant-grade 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen computer purpose-built for demanding kitchen environments. When paired with your ordering software, the KDS A5II streamlines kitchen operations with real-time order updates, helping reduce errors, improve turnaround times, and boost overall efficiency.

Restaurant-Grade, Vapor-Proof Hardware
Unlike consumer tablets, the KDS A5II is IP54-rated (front panel is IP65-rated) and vapor-proof for maximum reliability and superior durability in high-volume, high-heat and greasy kitchen settings. All connectors are enclosed inside a vapor-proof covers.
Easy Installation With Support for PoE
Kitchen space is often limited, but the KDS is compact and designed for maximum flexibility. VESA-compatible, it can be easily mounted on a pole, wall, or even suspended from the ceiling—fitting seamlessly into a variety of kitchen configurations.
As an all-in-one solution with an integrated PC and display, the KDS reduces cable clutter and simplifies installation. It also supports up to three displays, streamlining setup and lowering overall system costs.
For even greater efficiency, Partner Tech’s optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) box allows the KDS to be powered through the Ethernet connection—eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.
