Preparation stations

Preparation stations are what make sure each item lands on the right screen and prints at the right printer.

Creating a preparation station

  1. Open the back office and select Preparation stations
  2. Tap the plus button in the bottom right to add a new one
  3. Give it a name, for example:
    • Kitchen
    • Bar
    • Pastry
    • Cocktail bar

Tagging products

Once your stations exist, tag each product with the station it belongs to. See Products for how.

Wiring stations to screens and printers

Assign your preparation stations to the right kitchen displays and printers under Devices in the back office. From that moment on, every order routes itself. The right items show up on the right screens and print at the right printer.

Printing

By default, not every preparation prints. We keep it lean to save paper. If you’d rather print everything, flip the matching toggle on in back office settings.
