Mark Orders as Ready

Summary

Mark orders as ready in Selio KDS so the next team knows the dish can be served, picked up, or dispatched.

Before you begin

  • Make sure the order is fully prepared
  • Confirm all required items in that order or course are complete
  • Align the team on who is responsible for the final READY action
  • Use READY only when the dish is truly ready for the next step

Steps

  1. Open the active order or course on the KDS screen.
  2. Review the items one final time.
  3. Confirm prep and plating are complete.
  4. Tap the READY action.
  5. Check that the state updates correctly on screen.
  6. Confirm the front-of-house, pass, or pickup process can continue.
  7. Clear or hand off the order according to your restaurant workflow.

Troubleshooting

  • READY was tapped too early: Review the kitchen handoff process and correct the order state if your workflow allows it.
  • The order remains on screen after READY: Confirm the screen refreshes correctly and review station behavior.
  • The next team does not react to READY: Align service and kitchen teams on the meaning of the final state.
  • Only part of the order is complete: Use READY only when the correct scope of work is finished.
