Northstar KDS

Northstar KDS is the kitchen display screen inside Northstar's Food & Beverage module, part of a club management platform for golf, country, city and yacht clubs and community associations. It shows orders from the club POS on prep and expo screens with timers and reporting, alongside tableside POS, reservations, banquets and inventory. It is not sold separately from the club platform on the vendor's site.

Who it is for

  • Private golf and country clubs

    Dining, events, golf and back-office run on one platform, so the kitchen screen sees member preferences from the same database.

  • City clubs, yacht clubs and community associations

    The vendor lists these as other club types served with the same modules.

Less suited to: Independent restaurants that only want a standalone kitchen display. The KDS is documented as part of a club management suite, not as a separate product.

What it does

  • Grab N Go mobile ordering
