Preparation Areas

Setup – Advanced Setup

Preparation Areas are used when we have to send orders for the items we are selling to be prepared on a preparation printer, such as in the kitchen.

Here, you can define different Preparation Areas so that the items are sent to the right place for each of them.

In this screen you can add the Preparation Areas. First tap the button and then the button corresponding to the option to add a new preparation area.

If you want to edit/delete existing preparation areas, double tap on them.

Here, you can enter the data for the new Preparation Area:

• Code: By default, the system generates a sequential code, which can be changed as long as it is unique.

• Name: Here you enter the name of the Preparation Area.

• Kitchen printing type: Here you must define the type of printing in kitchen: One receipt per order or One receipt per item.

• Text size: Here you define the text size of the receipt for this group: Normal size or Large size.

• Print prices: Here we select whether the receipt of this group will print the price.

• Print header & footer message: Here we select whether the receipt of this group will print header and footer.

• Kitchen printers: Here you select to which kitchen printer the items in this group will be sent. It is also possible to choose more than one, so that a preparation receipt including this item will be printed on each of the selected printers.

In this example, you can see that all Items assigned to this Preparation Area will be sent to Kitchen Printer 1 and Kitchen Printer 4.

You can create as many Preparation Areas as you wish. For example, Drinks can be sent to BAR and the rest of the dishes to be prepared, Meat, Fish, Pizza, Pasta, etc., can be sent to KITCHEN.
