Chef Yannick Alléno and Four Seasons London at Park Lane, in the bustling heart of London, the Pavyllon Restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel stands as a beacon of culinary excellence and impeccable service. Renowned for its sophisticated ambience and gourmet offerings, Pavyllon London is a destination for food enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable dining experience. To maintain its high standards and streamline operations, Pavyllon London has, like all restaurants from Yannick Alléno, integrated the Annoncer Kitchen Display System (KDS), revolutionising its kitchen efficiency and service delivery.
“Working with Annoncer makes our service more efficient and smoother for the entire team. Each section has a clear picture of what’s happening during service. We must be flexible and adapt to various allergies, which are increasing. Annoncer helps with health and safety through special notes and colour coding, making communication between the Front of the House and the kitchen smoother. The time saved allows us to focus on our craft. The timing count on every order helps us anticipate and review our performance accurately. It’s easy to use, instinctive, and adapts to menu changes. It’s also stress-free and paperless, which benefits the environment. I highly recommend it to any kitchen aiming for success.”
– BENJAMIN FERRA Y CASTELL, HEAD CHEF AT PAVYLLON LONDON
Enhancing Kitchen Operations with Annoncer KDS
Annoncer KDS is a state-of-the-art solution designed to optimise kitchen workflows. At Pavyllon London, where culinary artistry meets exceptional service, the system provides several key benefits:
Comprehensive Installation
Pavyllon has implemented more than 15 Annoncer Kitchen screens throughout its kitchen environment. This includes a large screen embedded on the pass for the chef, many smaller screens at individual kitchen stations in the beautiful open kitchen, and more screens in the sizeable back-of-house kitchen. Each station has a perfect overview of current and upcoming tasks, optimised by allergies and food preferences, while also seeing what their colleagues are working on within the same course. Annoncer KDS assists the stations in managing all upcoming orders in future courses, preventing unnecessary communication.
Streamlined Order Management
Digital screens replace traditional paper tickets, allowing chefs to view, prioritise, and manage orders efficiently. Real-time updates ensure that every kitchen team member knows the order status, reducing the risk of errors and delays.
Improved Communication
The system facilitates clear, instant communication between front-of-house and kitchen staff, accurately conveying special requests and modifications. This leads to enhanced guest satisfaction and personalised dining experiences.
Reduction in Food Waste
Accurate preparation instructions help reduce food waste by minimising incorrect orders and overproduction. This aligns with Pavyllon’s commitment to sustainability and responsible dining practices.
Chef’s Total Overview
The chef has a comprehensive overview of all tickets, can manage exceptions, and can assist where needed, freeing up time to deliver the best to guests. This overview ensures that the highest standards of culinary excellence are maintained.
Front-of-House Coordination
The maître and sommeliers use the screens to monitor progress, report timing exceptions based on guest preferences, and carefully manage wine pairings. This coordination ensures a seamless dining experience that meets guests’ expectations.
Technical Excellence of Annoncer KDS
Annoncer KDS is built on Microsoft Azure’s hybrid cloud architecture, providing unparalleled reliability and performance. The system is POS and TRS agnostic, ensuring seamless integration with existing restaurant technologies. Designed with privacy and security as top priorities, Annoncer KDS protects sensitive data while delivering robust functionality. Its cloud-based infrastructure ensures minimal downtime and maximum efficiency, making it a trusted solution for high-end culinary establishments.
“As a Director of IT at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, I am always on the lookout for new and innovative technologies that improve our team’s workflow and operational efficiency and, most importantly, allow our team to deliver a better guest experience. In my opinion, the Annoncer Kitchen Display System is such a technology that ticks all these boxes. The system is a wonderful alternative to the traditional kitchen printers typically still installed in many restaurant kitchens today. From a technical perspective, the platform is extremely lightweight and easy to install and maintain. In my experience, the Annoncer KDS is a very stable and reliable platform that delivers maximum uptime. The system is very easy to understand and extremely user-friendly. Our kitchen team and front-of-house team on the restaurant floor have grown to love this technology very quickly as it makes their job so much easier. It allows them to truly focus on what they are best at, which is delivering an exceptional guest experience.”
