Summary
Use this tour to orient the kitchen team to the station name, order cards, timing cues, and state actions they will use during service.
Before you begin
- Sign in and let the KDS screen finish syncing
- Confirm you are viewing the intended station
- Know whether this station handles all items or only routed subsets
Steps
- Open the station screen and confirm the active station name.
- Review where new orders first appear.
- Open an order card and note how items, notes, and timing are displayed.
- Identify the state actions the station uses during prep.
- Observe how the screen shows orders that are waiting, active, or ready.
- Choose the next detailed article based on whether you need setup, order-state, or live-service guidance.
Troubleshooting
- No orders appear on the screen: Confirm routing or test data before assuming the screen is broken.
- The wrong station is shown: Stop and correct the station context before service starts.
- The layout feels too crowded: Review station scope or screen setup rather than forcing staff to guess.
- Staff cannot explain the states they see: Revisit order-state training before the next shift.
