Environmental Impact of Kitchen Display Systems and Square POS
ONE TREE IS DESTROYED PER SIX RESTAURANTS THAT USE PAPER RECEIPTS. KITCHEN DISPLAY SYSTEMS SAVE TREES.
The restaurant industry wastes over 1.5 billion pounds of paper each year just in receipts. Factor in paper from menus, gift cards, and other uses and the impact on forests is devastating. Each year, over 10 million trees are killed in the production of paper receipts in the United States alone.
Further, paper receipts cannot be recycled. This is because thermal receipts have toxic BPA and BPS dyes. In addition to contributing to waste, these toxins are making people sick.
Using a Kitchen Display System has become a crucial way for hospitality businesses to go green. Papers are eliminated by managing orders via a simple to use app for the backend staff.
Bump, whose Kitchen Display System called Bump KDS is compatible with Square POS, is on a mission to save trees by helping fast casual and hospitality businesses go paperless. Newline’s CEO, Roy Ganor, shared, “Helping businesses go green is one of Newline’s and our partner Square’s greatest priorities in 2020. We are working closely with Square POS and clients to perfect Bump KDS.”
Hospitality businesses looking to fully go green are adopting branded self-checkout technology as well. Branded kiosks make it possible to release menu changes in real-time without having to print new menus. The self-checkout orders then go to the Bump Kitchen Display System so all orders are managed in a single location.
Nick Bauer of Great Performances Hospitality Group shared, “Instead of paper menus, we are using our branded self-checkout kiosks as the literature for our hospitality spaces. Payments are processed by Square. After customers place an order, we eliminate paper with the Bump Kitchen Display System. Customers love that we are ecofriendly and that they can get text receipts. We are contributing to saving the environment and feel very proud about that.”
