CDS

(Customer Display Screen)

What is a Customer Display Screen?

Quantic Customer Display Screen (CDS) is a digital screen that allows you to display the ordered items to the customers. On this screen, the customers can view their orders, tax information, discounts (if any), the total amount to be charged, and loyalty points information. CDS makes the checkout process smooth by displaying every piece of information in real-time

Connecting Quantic POS to the Quantic CDS

Quantic CDS works in sync with the Quantic POS. The Quantic POS screen is a server-facing display where they can take the orders and process the payments whereas the CDS or customer display screen, faces the guests and shows the real-time activity running on the POS. For Quantic CDS to start functioning, needs to be connected to the Quantic POS. The CDS will display the order information such as items purchased, prices, a tax levied on orders, the total transaction amount, and loyalty points earned.
