Overview
The Kitchen module connects the service area with the back-end staff. Once orders are placed, they are automatically routed to the correct kitchen based on product mapping. Kitchen staff can track items, mark them as prepared, and notify waiters in real-time.
Key Features
-
Kitchen Setup – Add multiple kitchens with fields like Name and Location for proper segregation (Main Kitchen, Bakery, Bar, etc.).
-
Dashboard – View live orders with table info, customer details, and cooking status in real-time.
-
Product Mapping – Assign specific products to kitchens so that items are sent to the right cooking area.
-
Order Actions – Orders are automatically routed to the assigned kitchens, where kitchen staff can accept, decline, or mark dishes as ready, instantly notifying the server.
-
Ready Notification – Once items are cooked, the chef clicks Ready, instantly notifying the waiter to serve.
-
Printer Integration – Orders are automatically printed in the respective kitchen for faster processing.
-
Improved Coordination – Reduces delays, minimizes errors, and ensures better communication between waiters and chefs.
Workflow
The store issues products to the kitchen using the New Distribution form — selecting the kitchen, section, products, and quantities, along with who distributed and who received the items. The kitchen uses the received products for daily preparation, and all consumption is recorded automatically in the Usage Tab. When the shift or day ends, any unused products are returned to the store using the New Return form — with the same level of detail captured for the return. Every distribution and return is tracked with a full record of date, kitchen, section, and the people involved — keeping stock accurate and fully auditable at all times.
