Workflow

How the module fits into daily operations

Each module follows the same operating rhythm: setup, live action, and manager review.

01

Receive order context

Kitchen teams see table, item, and order details from QR, POS, or staff entry.

02

Move through statuses

Use preparing, ready, and served states to keep service aligned.

03

Review bottlenecks

Managers can inspect active queues and delayed items without interrupting the station.
