Printing Items in other Stations near the end of KOT

[ashokr]

Hi

I've had this feature with 2 prior POS's that I have used in the past. Aldelo (A PC based product) and Revel (Cloud and IOS based). Revel didn't have this feature when I first got engaged, but they fulfilled it a week before I went live. That was remarkable speed to support our request. I've waited for almost 2 years and I don't see this feature intercept yet.

I love Toast for many of its features which is why I moved to Toast, But I would still like this feature that improves operational efficiency in our Kitchen.

Look at the attachment. Every station would have any items being prepared in other stations. This is super useful for our workflow. Allows efficient communication between staff and make sure nothing is missed or overlooked.

Technically should be super easy to do it. The workaround suggested was to print all items in all stations, which is a huge bandaid and I'll be wasting soo much paper in every station. 

Not sure if we have a way to rank them up top, so if you find this is useful, please mark it such so it can get noticed.

Ideally there is just one setting global, if we need this summary for the entire store, or better to be a per-printer setting if that summary is to be printed.

Folks please help 🙂

You can use other stations under prep station setup, but it is not as compact as your example.

True, this is what was suggested by support, but a HUGE hammer approach, not concise and simple like the example I gave.

Yeah it's not great, I would also like to see your suggestion on the KDS too rather than the current ALSO AT option, just the item names without modifiers in small print, inline would even be fine with commas separating them, wouldn't take up much space and would greatly improve kitchen workflow.

Nice suggestion for KDS. Hope someone takes note!
