A vital part of a successful kitchen production system is to have a flexible item routing to the display stations and printers in the kitchen. For the KDS system, the routing is divided into two parts to minimize the setup.
Note: You can check your mapping against test criteria.
-
First, you route the items to production sections.
-
Then you map the production sections to display stations.
When the Hospitality POS sends an order line to the KDS:
- It starts to find to which production sections the item on the line is routed to.
- Then the system finds out to which KDS display(s) the production sections are mapped; Section Display Stat. Mappings.
All company retail items that need to be sent to and used by the KDS system need to be set up with KDS Routing information; that is, you need to set up which production sections the items belong to.
