Stations

Kitchen, bar, grill — where each ticket goes.

Needs Kitchen (KDS)

A station is a place where food is made: kitchen, bar, grill, pastry. Each product is assigned to one, so a ticket only reaches whoever needs to see it.

Without stations, the kitchen screen shows everything together and the bar has to read past the food to find its drinks.

Creating a station

  1. Select New station.

  2. Name it — Kitchen, Bar, Grill.

  3. Pick a colour. It's how it's told apart at a glance on the kitchen screen.

Then assign each product to its station from Point of sale → Menu, in the Prep area field.

Products that skip the kitchen

A bottled drink from the fridge doesn't need making. Give it No prep and it won't appear on any screen — it's just charged.

Deactivating

An Inactive station stops receiving tickets without losing its setup. Useful for the grill that only works weekends.
