Create an Order Ready Display

An Order Ready display is positioned in the customer waiting area enabling the customer to see the status of their order.

While a customer's order is prepared in the kitchen, the customer's name appears in the In Progress section on the display.

When the order is ready, the customer's name appears in the Ready section. In an Upstream Status environment, the customer's order remains in the In Progress column until all their order items are bumped from all Upstream Status displays.
