A Preparation Station lists its item lines as lines, that is, one item is one line.
Note: If an expeditor is not in use, KOTs are manually served when finished in the kitchen.
The following image is an example of a preparation station:
- The first item for the display is at the top.
- Lines are displayed in the same order as they are sent to the preparation station.
- The active item has a blue box around it.
Each line has:
- Table, the table number the item belongs to.
- KOT #.
- Display time, the time since the line was sent to the display.
- Time left, displays how much time is left of the production time.
When production time reaches zero, it switches to negative time.
- (minus) is displayed for items which are waiting to be started. - Status, shows the preparation stations where the item is.
- Quantity.
- Item, description.
- Modifiers, when modifiers are set for the item they are displayed here, one line per modifier.
