Use Kitchen Full Station

The Kitchen Full Station is installed at a workstation in the kitchen (kitchen post) or bar. The Kitchen Full Station transmits the information about orders in order to process them in a time-controlled manner so that orders can be completed as simultaneously as possible.

How to start the Kitchen Full Station starter...

For the very first start of a Kitchen Full Station you have to run the Officer.exe once to create the necessary directory structure. It must be ensured that the printer is already set up for this in the Kitchen Supervisor.

To set up an automatic start on a ward, use the Remote Commander as described at Remote Commander.

Special feature of group marking

When you press a heading, all its lines are highlighted.

Special feature Multiselection

You can select any number of rows within a group and thus print receipts for several items, for example, and trigger Finished. If you have selected items from the In process group and then touch another group (Items not in process), this new selection is not marked because the control is then unclear. If you then select the new selection again (double-click), the previously selected lines are released and the new line is selected.

Special feature Info window

In the Extras column, the Free attachments and the selection of queries are displayed. By touching on this information you receive an information window.

Special feature faxes and keyboard input

If you touch the Extras field for at least 0.3 seconds, an Info window appears. It contains the item, any additions and, if available, a fax or keyboard entry. If a fax or keyboard entry is available, the column is also highlighted in yellow.

See in this context Best practice against fraud with fax functions.

Special feature Striking off

You can mark an item as finished by marking it from right to left. like you picked this one up and printed the receipt and pressed it.

Special feature Drag and Drop

You can simply pull an item up a short distance with your finger. This will treat it as Begun.

If you drag an item down a short distance, it will be released again - i.e. a started item will be classified as not started anymore,

Special feature of individual processes

The Individual operations field shows how many operations there are on the care unit in which no other care unit is involved.

This allows items to be preferred. Especially when an order has been forgotten or needs to be re-prepared for other reasons. The point is that when you make follow-up bookings at a table, this position may already be out of sight, and you could bring this position forward and edit it.

When you select the Individual transactions field, the system automatically searches for the next applicable posting. This can also be repeated for further bookings.

Faulty items on the Kitchen Display

Items that were not set up in the capacity specifications lead to errors in the Kitchen Display. This is detected as an error and displayed at the bottom. If you touch the error message, detailed information about the item appears in the journal below.

 

The Kitchen Display can display a message if it has no contact with the supervisor. Check in this case:

• The supervisor must have started.
• The supervisor must not be in the settings.
• At least one item about the kitchen capacity for the Kitchen Display must have been set up.
