This month, we’re rolling out powerful updates designed to simplify restaurant operations—from a faster, clearer kitchen display system to shareable analytics and smarter billing management. Let’s dive into what’s new!

KDS 2.0: A Smarter, Clearer Kitchen Experience

Kitchen staff work in high-pressure environments, and every second counts. With the new KDS 2.0 —now available in India, we’ve redesigned the system to make it easier for chefs to read, act, and stay efficient.

This upgrade isn’t just about a cleaner UI — it’s built to reduce errors, improve readability, and simplify task management for kitchen staff.

✅ Uniform order cards with larger fonts and improved contrast
✅ Visual tags for order types — Quick, Bulk, Train
✅ Clear indicators for voided items and item weights
✅ “Mark All Items Ready” for faster ticket closures
✅ Consistent Kitchen Station filter across Prime modules

How to Use It:

1️⃣ Click Live Orders to see incoming orders
2️⃣ Open KDS from the top navigation
3️⃣ View all KOTs — now more readable and grouped by kitchen station
4️⃣ Click “View All Items” to expand detailed orders
5️⃣ Use “Mark All Ready” for faster order completion (if enabled)

📊 Shareable Analytics: Your Data, Your Control

Tired of taking screenshots or switching to Excel to share your performance reports?

With the new Share & Export Toolkit in Atlas Analytics, you can now easily collaborate with your team — all from the dashboard.

What You Can Do:

✅ Export charts as PNG (perfect for decks)
✅ Export tables as CSV — includes added columns like City & Category
✅ Share filtered views via link or email — all filters stay intact
✅ Easy for teams to view insights without needing extra training

How to Use It:

1️⃣ Go to Atlas → Analytics
2️⃣ Apply your preferred filters (e.g. location, brand, platform, time period)
3️⃣ Click Export to download your chart (PNG) or data table (CSV)
4️⃣ Click Share to generate a link or send an email
5️⃣ Your teammate opens the exact same view — no screenshots, no rework

🔹 Now available to all Atlas Analytics users

Let data drive the conversation — not screenshots!

Stay Informed About Your Invoices—Right Inside Atlas

Running a restaurant is busy enough—keeping tabs on billing shouldn’t add to the load. That’s why you’ll now see clear, timely information about your invoices directly in Atlas → Billing, along with reminders to help you stay ahead.

What to Expect: 

✅ Friendly reminders via email and in-app banners before payments are due
✅ Non-dismissible alerts as due dates approach
✅ Easy access to view, download, or pay invoices anytime
✅ Real-time updates on payment status and service continuity
✅ A clear view of what’s due—no surprises

Here’s How It Works:

1️⃣ You’ll get reminders 15, 7, and 6 days before your due date
2️⃣ Invoices can be managed anytime under Atlas → Billing
3️⃣ If a payment is missed, visible alerts will guide you on next steps
4️⃣ Service resumes immediately once payment is made
5️⃣ If overdue by 7+ days, restoration may require manual support (but a short grace period can be requested)

It’s now simpler than ever for you—and your finance team—to stay on top of payments and keep operations running without disruption.
