The pizza station should not have to read the salad order.
A ticket arrives with six things on it and two of them are yours. Finding those two, at eight o’clock, forty times an hour, is where kitchen software either helps or gets in the way.
Live today
Every station reading every ticket.
One printer by the pass, one long ticket, and everybody crowding round it. The salad person scans past three pizzas. The pizza person scans past the wings. Somebody misses a line and the order goes out short.
Nobody misreads a ticket because they cannot read. They misread it because they are reading five things that are not theirs to find the one that is.
Your station’s items, first.
The same order, sent to each station with that station’s items brought forward. The rest of the order stays visible — because you still need to know what is going in the bag — just quieter.

An illustration of the idea. Your stations and items are set up for your kitchen.
Two seconds saved per ticket does not sound like much until you multiply it by a Friday.
As many as your kitchen actually has.
A pizza station. A salad station. Fryers. Whatever your kitchen is organised around — set it up that way, and route the right items to the right place.
One printer or several
Add a printer where a station needs its own tickets. Run one if that is all you need.
Items go where they belong
Set which part of the menu each station is responsible for, once.
A kitchen that has to reorganise itself around the software is worse off than it was with paper.
A tablet, a printer, and something to keep them talking.
Android tablet
Where orders appear, and where the kitchen marks them off.
Epson kitchen printer
Tickets on paper for the stations that want them.
Small router
Keeps the tablet and the printer connected to each other reliably.
The router is there so that at eight o’clock on a Saturday the printer prints. That is the whole reason it exists.
The kitchen is the end of a longer line.
