Preparable Item Overview

Preparable Items allows you to connect menu items and modifiers to custom “prep items” that appear in the KDS All Day View. This gives the kitchen an at-a-glance count of how many of each ingredient or product they need to prepare across all the tickets in their view. For example, every burger can be linked to a “burger patty” prep item. When burgers are sent to the kitchen, they automatically contribute to the total count for “burger patty” in the All Day View. This allows the grill cook to see immediately that they need to prepare, for instance, 20 patties without scanning through individual tickets.
