Working with KDS

Move orders through the kitchen workflow.

Step by step:

1. A new order appears in the Ordered column
2. Start cooking – move to Cooking (click or drag)
3. When the dish is ready – move to Ready to serve
4. The server sees the dish is ready and serves it

Routing:

• Each menu item has an assigned ticket destination (e.g. "Kitchen", "Bar", "Dessert")
• KDS only shows items destined for your station
• Identical items (same dish, variant, modifiers) are grouped with a quantity badge

Tip: Focus on the "Ordered" column – that's the queue of waiting dishes. Move to "Cooking" as soon as you start to give servers accurate status info.
