21 Runner Chits

Food runners assist servers in running food from the kitchen to customer tables. A runner chit is a piece of paper that prints at a printer, allowing a food runner to know where to take the items (which table), and if guest seating is configured, which items to present to which guest’s seat (based on the configured seat numbers). Runner chits print on Expo Done, Prep Done, or All Prep Done.

This figure shows an example image of a runner chit with the check ID.

In Simphony version 18.1 and later, runner chits show the guest check ID (if available) on the top right corner of the header, instead of the guest check number. If a guest check ID is unavailable or is configured to be suppressed, the check number prints instead. For instructions on how to set up a runner chit printer for a KDS, see Creating a KDS Order Device.
