Support for Sending Pre-Production Chits to Remote Printers
Starting with release 18.2.3, pre-production printing allows servers to send ordered items to remote printers prior to finalizing the current round. This allows the kitchen or bar staff to preview orders to get a head start on preparing items that require more prep or cooking time in an effort to assist in delivering orders more quickly.
Operationally, as servers key in an order, they can select a Pre-Production Chit (Tender/Media Service Total) button to send the pre-production items to remote printers. For easier recognition, pre-production chits are formatted differently than the output of conventional order chits.
After an item has been fired via pre-production chit printing, if you add a second item and select pre-production chit printing again, it only fires that second item. The first item does not trigger a re-fire of a pre-production chit.
See the Simphony Configuration Guide, specifically chapter 40 Configuring Pre-Production Chits to Output to Remote Printers for more information.
