TastyVox answers your calls using a menu uploaded via CSV or web link. The voice AI guides guests through selections and modifiers.
Instant order alert
As soon as the guest finishes the call, the order pops up on your TastyVox Live KDS dashboard with sound alerts.
Tap to mark completed
Your team reads the order details off any tablet screen, prepares the meal, and taps 'Complete' when done.

Common questions
TastyVox + Live KDS Mode FAQ
What devices support Live KDS Mode?
Any device with a web browser. You can run it on a kitchen iPad, an old Android tablet, a laptop on the counter, or a manager's phone.
Do I have to enter my menu manually to use Live KDS?
No. You can upload a CSV, or our team can scrape your online menu (Yelp, Toast, Clover link) and import it for you.
How does this help us transition to a full POS integration?
Live KDS gets you live immediately so you can test caller volume and build confidence. We use that period to configure and test your native POS writebacks behind the scenes.
