Stations are configured to enable the routing of product items during the preparation process, items / orders move between each station until they reach the exit point and leave the kitchen. Stations are also used against the configuration of channels.

  • Preparation - product items are being cooked / made

  • Assembly - product items have been cooked / made and have come together at the assembly / pass area for final plating (this stage is optional in any configuration)

Station Allocation Groups

Station dish allocation groups provide an additional layer to routing where specific items can be routed to a different station compared to their course or prep stream settings. Any items that are to be routed separately are added within the groups by Aztec product Entity code and then added to a new routing rule, within the filters section.

 

Option Description / Usage
Station Dish Allocation Name The name given to the station dish allocation group (used in routing rules)
Product IDs

Entry box to add Entity Codes from Aztec Product Modelling to map the station to the Aztec ID
