LAS VEGAS, NV — iMin Technology today introduced the Penguin 1 Series Kitchen Display System, a purpose-built Android KDS device designed to help restaurants move from thermal print-based order management to more reliable, digital kitchen workflows.
As restaurant operations become more connected, kitchen order management is no longer limited to printed tickets. Orders now come from
POS systems, self-service kiosks, mobile apps, online ordering platforms, and delivery aggregators. For QSRs, fast casual restaurants, and multi-location operators, this creates a growing need for shared kitchen visibility, station coordination, and consistent execution across high-volume service environments.
Meanwhile, thermal printing also brings practical challenges, from paper jams and lost or misplaced tickets to consumable dependency, waste, and food safety concerns—thermal receipt paper commonly contains BPA, a chemical that transfers to hands and can contaminate food during preparation. With Penguin 1’s stainless-steel and glass construction, kitchens eliminate this contact point—supporting cleaner workflows without consumable-related risk.
Penguin 1 is designed to support the last mile of the KDS ecosystem: the modern commercial kitchen.
“Restaurant software defines the workflow, but KDS keeps that workflow running. Penguin 1 was built around one simple promise: business uptime. It helps restaurants keep orders moving, reduce operational bottlenecks, and give technology partners a reliable platform for continuous kitchen execution.”
— Xibang Lin, Marketing Director, iMin Technology 
Engineered for demanding kitchen environments, Penguin 1 features IP65-rated SUS304 stainless-steel construction, oil and heat resistance, and capacitive touch input designed for wet-hand and gloved operation. Dual-path Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity help support stable order flow, while optional PoE single-cable deployment enables cleaner and more flexible installation.
Available in 15.6-inch and 21.5-inch FHD display options, Penguin 1 Series is powered by an octa-core processor and an Android-based open operating system, giving restaurant technology partners a flexible platform for KDS, kitchen workflow, order routing, and connected restaurant applications.
In high-end kitchens, Penguin 1 supports quiet coordination with a stainless-steel body, brushed finish, and minimal seams that blend naturally into refined preparation spaces. In fast-paced chain restaurant and QSR environments, it helps teams maintain order visibility, coordinate across stations, and keep service moving through peak hours, daily cleaning routines, and continuous kitchen operations.
As restaurants move from printed tickets to digital workflows, the kitchen becomes part of the broader restaurant data loop. Order status, preparation progress, bottlenecks, and fulfillment patterns can become more visible to the software platform. With Penguin 1, iMin brings its broader product philosophy into the kitchen: powering business uptime.
