Adding a Prep Station in the App

In Tebi, any place in your establishment where orders are prepared, is called a Prep Station. Prep Stations can be accessed on a dedicated device, such as a small tablet in your kitchen or coffee corner, but it’s also possible to configure a printer to print prep order receipts.

Add a Prep Station:

• Go to the Tebi App > Settings > Prep Stations
• Go to the section Prep Stations, click Create new
• Enter the name of the Prep Station
• Select the type of Prep Station: Digital or Printer

Printer Prep Stations

• Printer Prep Stations print prep orders as they come in
• Turn on the toggle to Print a separate prep ticket for each product
• Click Save
• Click on the Delete Prep station button to remove this Prep stations

Learn how to connect your printer and configure your receipt settings.

Digital Prep Stations

• Display Prep Stations use a dedicated tablet to show prep orders digitally
• Select the required Preparation Steps
• Select the Ticket View
  • In Gallery view, tickets fill the available space
  • In columns view, each column shows one ticket
• Hit Save, and your first Prep Station will be ready to go

You can change the number of visible columns in a digital prep station. This allows you to adjust the overview of the Prep tickets depending on the Prep screen size.

• In the App > go to Prep station
• Select the three dots in the top right
• Click on Settings > select Fixed
• Select the number of columns you would like to display
  • Note: the size of the text will stay the same, so the many columns on a small screen will make the tickets unreadable

Add Courses

• In the App > go to Settings > Prep stations
• Go to the section Courses, click Create new
• Enter the name of the course (e.g. Starters)
• Hit Save

Add products to Prep Stations and Courses:

• Go to the Tebi App > Products
• Select a product
• Go to the section Preparation
  • Select the Prep Station location. When a product is ordered, a ticket will be sent to that station.
  • Assign a product to a default course
  • Set the preparation priority (High, Medium or Low). This determines the order in which products will be shown in a prep ticket. That way products that take longer to prepare will appear at the top of a prep ticket, while the faster products appear at the end. For example, apply a preparation priority of ‘high’ to a product which takes 20 minutes to prepare and a low priority to a product that takes 5 minutes to prepare.
• Hit Save

Now that we’ve set up a Prep Station, we can add products and modifiers.
