Kitchen Screen

the Kitchen Screen command provides a large view of what your Kitchen needs to prepare for your catering requirements in your scheduled Functions. The display shows the Menu requested and any additional items, the Function Room the food is required in, the Function's Name, Start time and End time, and how many People are being catered for. Any comments associated with this menu are also displayed (such as if your staff need to be aware of a gluten or peanut allergy during preparation), and the Kitchen screen will AUTOMATICALLY refresh periodically, meaning this screen may be left permanently displayed in your Kitchen area so that your staff can see at a glance what needs to be prepared and where/when it needs to be delivered. The Kitchen Screen may also be printed out for use elsewhere. The Kitchen Screen command can be found in the Sales and Catering Area of Skyware.

If your Property does not currently have our Sales and Catering Module and you are interested in adding it, please contact us at  Sales@SkywareSystems.com.
