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:

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
