Configure Prep Stations

Summary

Configure prep stations so kitchen work is separated clearly across areas such as hot kitchen, bar, dessert, or pickup.

Before you begin

  • Confirm the kitchen workflow is already defined operationally
  • Know which stations the restaurant needs
  • Make sure you have permission to manage station setup
  • Confirm the KDS screens or outputs available for each station

Steps

  1. Open the prep station setup area.
  2. Review the existing station list.
  3. Create a new station or open an existing one to edit it.
  4. Enter or update the station name and setup details.
  5. Save the station configuration.
  6. Review the full station list again.
  7. Confirm each station is ready to be linked to the correct order routing flow.

Troubleshooting

  • The team is unsure how many stations to create: Start with real production areas, not idealized ones.
  • Station names are confusing: Use short, operational labels the kitchen recognizes instantly.
  • The wrong screen is being used for a station: Recheck device-to-station assignment.
  • Orders later appear mixed between teams: Review routing rules after station setup.
