Adding a Prep Station & Coursing in the Back Office

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.

You can add Prep Stations and Courses via:

• The Back Office
• The App

Add a Prep Station:

• Go to the Tebi Back Office > Settings > Prep Stations
• Go 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

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

Digital Prep Stations

• Digital Prep Stations use a dedicated tablet to show prep orders digitally
• Select the Preparation steps
• Select the type of ticket view for the Digital Prep Station
  • In columns view, each column shows one ticket
  • In Gallery view, tickets fill the available space
• Hit Save, and your first Prep Station will be ready to go

Add Courses

• Go to the section Courses, click Create new
• Enter the name of the course (e.g. Starters)
• Hit Save

Course Firing

Select how to fire courses:

• Parallel: all products from all courses in a ticket will be automatically sent to the kitchen at once
• Manual: individually send courses to the kitchen from the Sales screen
• Sequential: the first course is auto-fired, with other courses firing automatically when the previous one is completed
• Hybrid: The first course will be fired automatically when you submit the first order. After this you fire the other courses manually from the sales screen or within the prep station.

Add products to Prep Stations and Coursing

• Go to Products and 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.
