Stations

A Station is where the Tickets of a Category go, such as Beizli Muster’s Küche and Bar. Every Category sends its Items to one Station; a Printer prints the Tickets of the Stations it serves, and a kitchen terminal shows those of the Stations chosen on it. The Stations are under Menu → Stations.

Add a Station

1. In the last row, ②, enter the name of the New Station.
2. Pick its Colour; a new Station gets the first colour no other Station uses.
3. Click Add.

Example: in summer, Beizli Muster grills on the Terrasse. Michael adds a Station Grill, keeps its teal, and then sends a new Category Vom Grill there.

Name and colour

Change a Station’s name or pick another of the ten colours ① and click Save in its row. When a kitchen terminal shows several Stations, each Ticket carries a badge with its Station’s name in its colour: the orange Küche and the blue Bar (Your screen). Pick colours that tell the Stations apart at a glance.

Which Categories go there

A Category’s Station is set on the Category: under Menu → Categories & Items, click Edit Category, choose its Station and click Save. The menu shows it after each Category’s name, such as → Bar for the Cold drinks (Categories and Items).

Example: to send the Category To take away to the Küche instead, Michael chooses Küche as its Station. Rounds sent from then on go to the Küche; Tickets already sent stay where they went.

Which Printer and screen

Which Printer prints a Station’s Tickets is set on the Printer (Printers). A kitchen terminal shows the Stations chosen on the tablet itself (Choosing Stations).

Remove a Station

Click Remove in its row. A Station that Categories still send to stays, with the message Categories still send their Tickets to this Station. Route them elsewhere first.
