About Kitchen Schemes

A kitchen scheme is a set of configuration specifications for each kitchen station. Typically, a unique kitchen scheme is defined for each day part and/or for High Volume and Low Volume business hours.

For example, a High Volume kitchen scheme includes all four kitchen stations in the site while the Low Volume kitchen scheme only includes two kitchen stations.

When the XKM application starts, the most recent kitchen scheme is reloaded.

    • Claim Color - Select the desired color code for a “claimed” order item.

    Forecaster Tags

    From the dropdown, select forecaster tags to associate with the kitchen station.

    Use forecaster tags to filter the order items that are displayed on the Production Forecast Pane.

    For example, if the “Burgers” tag is selected, then only order items that have been assigned the “Burgers” tag are displayed on the Production Forecast Pane.

  3. From the lower-right of the Add Station form, select Done.
