For restaurants
Change the kitchen preparation time
Set the base estimate for new orders when the kitchen gets busier or quieter.
Choose a new estimate
- On the web, iPhone or a narrow iPad, open Orders and tap the flame button showing the current preparation time.
- On a wide iPad, tap the venue and kitchen status at the bottom of the sidebar, then choose Prep time.
- Choose 10, 15, 25, 35, 45 or 60 minutes to match the kitchen’s current workload.
- The choice applies immediately. Check the minutes on the flame button, or in the sidebar kitchen status on a wide iPad.
This estimate is shared across all venues of the restaurant and affects new orders. A staff login limited to one venue needs an owner or admin to change it. To pause one venue’s new orders, use the door button instead (on a wide iPad, the Pause for group in the kitchen menu).
