Overview

Kitchen analytics: ticket time and throughput is a common workflow in TillTech. This guide covers the recommended setup path and the checks that help you avoid mistakes.

Before You Start

  • A kitchen screen (KDS) or printer configured
  • Menu routing defined
  • Network connectivity tested

Recommended Steps

  1. Define your stations (grill, fry, pass, bar) and map items to them.
  2. Send a test ticket from POS and confirm it appears in the right station.
  3. Confirm modifiers/notes are visible and readable.
  4. Set up bump/complete flow so staff can move tickets correctly.
  5. Train staff on status definitions (new/in progress/ready/served).

Best Practices

  • Make one small change at a time and validate the result.
  • Test the full flow end-to-end before rolling out to staff.
  • Keep permissions tight: give access only to people who need it.
  • Use consistent naming for products, categories, and locations.

Troubleshooting

  • If a setting appears not to apply, confirm you are editing the correct location/workspace.
  • If reports don’t match expectations, verify time zone and tax settings first.
  • If devices aren’t syncing, check network connectivity and re-authenticate where applicable.
