The mounting systems shown on this page have been assembled as pre-configured packages to simplify the selection of all of the necessary components needed to support your KDS equipment. All of the individual components are also available separately.
These pre-configured mounting system packages are only a small sample of the many options we have available. Contact the PQS sales team if you need a custom mounting system designed specifically for your application.
Currently we do not offer pre-configured packages for Counter Top, Under Counter, Ceiling or Pole mounting as more than 90% of all KDS screens are are supported by shelf edge mounts.
However, we do have an excellent selection of individual components for Counter Top, Under Counter, Ceiling or Pole mounting. These individual components are available on our website.

Kitchen Display Systems
An easy to understand tutorial
Recipe Viewer Screens
Basic
Prep/recipe screens are used by the kitchen staff members who are primarily involved with the pre-cooking, processing, cleaning, chopping, mixing, etc. of the bulk, raw ingredients.
More info
The prep staff usually start work early each day before the restaurant is open for business. The prep staff will process all of the ingredients for the days menu and they will also receive, inventory and store all of the food items which are delivered by the vendors to the kitchen.
In a traditional kitchen operation recipe information is often compiled as printed pages in a loose leaf binder. The chef then puts together a list of all of the food items complete with weights and volumes that need to be prepared each day.
As with KDS, tech savvy operators are now using screens rather than printed notebooks and lists to display the amounts needed of each ingredient as well as instructions for the various types of processes used in the preparation of each recipe.
Dedicated prep or recipe viewer screens are used to improve communications, efficiency and consistency across an entire chain of restaurants. These systems are also an excellent way to add special items such as regional and seasonal menu changes.
Prep/recipe viewer software works with pantry management software to track food item usage, prepared item stock levels, food item aging, spoilage, etc.
Prep/recipe screens are usually 15”-17” in size and are usually supported by specialty mounting systems that are attached to a shelf edge or to existing kitchen shelves above a prep work station.
In some cases screens are supported by mounts that are bridged between two shelves or an adjacent wall surface.
Screens should be located to place the center of the display at or just above eye level.
