Prep Group Setup

If you are using Prep Devices for Kitchen or Bar output, you will need to create Prep Groups. If you are not sending items to a prep group, and will only be printing guest receipts you can skip this section.

After you have configured all Output Devices, you will create Prep Groups which are made up of one or more Output Devices. Since only one single Prep Group is assigned to any given menu item Prep Groups can consist of a single printer or multiple printers. For example, if we want certain menu items to be sent to all three Kitchen devices, "EXPO", "FRYER", and "GRILL" simultaneously, you could create a Prep Group "ALL KITCHEN STATIONS" (note, the name does NOT have to match the device names that make up the group; it should simply be a clear description of where the items will be sent. If you wanted certain items to go ONLY to the GRILL device you would create a Prep Group "GRILL" and add only the GRILL device.
