43 Configuring Pre-Production Chits to Output to Remote Printers
Kitchen or bar staff can preview orders and begin preparing items that require more prep or cooking time to assist in delivering orders more quickly. Pre-production printing allows servers to send certain menu items to remote printers prior to finalizing the current round.
Operationally, as workstation operators add menu items, 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 is fired through pre-production chit printing, if the workstation operator adds a second item and then selects pre-production chit printing again, the system only fires the second item. The first item does not trigger the re-fire of a pre-production chit.
