What is that system or thing called in restaurants that prints the order out in restaurant kitchens so the chefs know what to cook once the server types it in the cashier or computer.What is that system or thing called in restaurants that prints the order out?
Being a former chef it can be a number of different company types of machines, some are quite open, as to the food, doneness, sauce or none, salt or no salt. In a large kitchen each station in the kitchen will have one for that area, hot or cold sections.



Some places will have a sous chef or expediter, who will call the order out to the station chefs, like the one who makes the appetizers and then the areas that prepare the main courses.



In the cold kitchen they get orders for salads and desserts, along with the bar for you drink orders, but this varies alot depending on the size of the restaurant, the systems themselves and need to do it multi station wise.



I worked with my first system like that in 1981 in Toronto Canada at a swanky place called the Pearcy House, we used a system that still is running today called Remenco and I have also used NCR and Squirrel units, all basically the same, just more information and a larger more readable check to view.
I'm not s sure what your talking about?





Menu - has the selection of food and drink available from the restaurant





Order - what the chef uses to know what you want cooked





Receipt - document that has what you ordered and how much it costs
