Independent Prep Station Overview

By default, items mapped to multiple prep stations will all fulfill (or bump) from all prep stations at the same time. However, when a menu item contains ingredients that are prepared at different prep stations, each prep station may want to fulfill their portion of the item without fulfilling (bumping) ingredients that are prepared at another prep station.

This can be accomplished by enabling independent prep station fulfillment in Toast Web.

Enable Independent Prep Stations

Once the independent prep station fulfillment option has been enabled for your account, you can follow these steps to configure it:
 

1. In Toast Web, navigate to Kitchen > Printers, tickets, & KDS devices > Kitchen.
2. Scroll down to the Ticket Screens section and find the Fulfillment method setting. Select Fulfill at each station independently. 
   
   
    
3. For the Other Stations, you can select For each ticket, list other stations working on that ticket if desired. 
4. Save and publish your changes.

KDS Screens

When an item is being prepared at independent prep stations (in this example, Cold and Fry stations), it will be visible on each screen as shown below:

The ring/bell notification will sound once the item is fulfilled, and the item on the expo screen will turn green once all prep stations have fulfilled their portion of the ticket.

Note: The prep stations must be assigned as prep stations in Device Setup, or the independent prep station will not show the green checkmark
