Restaurant Kitchen - Overview

This is the managers view of all orders in the kitchen. All customers orders that arrive on the Kitchen view, are separated into departments to help the kitchen staff deal with them, and they are also grouped by table to help with food continuity for the customer.

Note: Customers drinks orders and tapas orders do not arrive on this page. They are sent directly to the service desk or bar for the service staff to deal with.

All starters, main courses and deserts, (when the forward arrow button is clicked) are sent to the kitchen for preparation.
The reason for the separations is so the manager can quickly invervene, eg, running out out lamb shanks or requesting more information about the cooking of a steak.

This button will set the system to automaticaly processes the customer orders. This is useful should the restaurant Manager not be able to personally vet the customers orders e.g If He/She intends to be away from their desk or if the manger owns or manages more than one restaurant. Setting this to auto will ensure the continued operation of the restaurant.
Note: The "Orders tab" must be the active (visible) Tab for this to work. Settings
