Add a station in the Owner Dashboard

Add a station in your Owner Dashboard to set up a new tablet at your restaurant. Once it's added, you sign in on that tablet to start taking orders.

Requirements

  • The update station permission (Admin by default).


Choose a station type

When you add a station, you pick a type:

  • Expo: the standard kitchen station. It shows all incoming orders for fulfillment and handoff. Most restaurants use Expo.

  • Prep: sends specific items to a prep area. Use Prep if you have more than one kitchen station and each handles different items.

ℹ️ Note: You don't have to have an Expo station. For example, if you use your POS printer for both guest receipts and kitchen tickets, you may not need a separate Expo station.
