ALL Food Items with Corresponding Printer - List or Report fore Viewing Strategy

ejbytes — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 00:57:33 GMT

How to SEE all Food Items: and their corresponding printer locations; as a table or report?

So many times I have to update Menu items, or add items. And I don't remember what the printer associated with that type of food.

Example: new item "Roast Duck with Potatoes and Fried Something"
Roast Duck: Grill
Potatoes: Fry Station
Fried Something: Fry Station
----------------------------------------
Easy example, but when it's 3 things or more complex I can't recall because once in a while they Chef rearranges the kitchen for his/her needs and whom is in what station handles what. Make sense?

It's the Chef's space and he/she tells me where the ticket goes. I need a chart. Is there a quicker way to get a chart/table view? Or is this the way.

Thx!

Below is Advanced Properties and tells me where the entrees are printing. Each plate has different items on the dish, so the printing-schema might be different on each plate.

Maybe unrelated info below:
In my mind I just asked myself this question: Chicken (contains: potatoes). It's an item DB so just thinking out loud. Assembling an "item" to contain "more items" such as: "chicken item" linked to "potatoes" or even "potatoes" & "bacon".

What you are using is the best way to view that, outside of creating your own cheat sheet to reference.

I think that was me, sorry, trying to follow the thread for others who stumble upon this. If there is a "best solution," could you mark what it is, and I'll unmark everything else!

Hi Rob, the solution is the question. The question is the solution. As there is none, better than the question, which is indeed the solution.
