Store Manager Help

When an order is placed, make tickets tell the kitchen staff what food to make. Make routes tell SpeedLine where to print the menu items (for example, a kitchen printer, or a bar printer).

Make routes are assigned to menu items in Menu Designer. See the Assign Make Routes topic in Menu Designer Help for instructions on assigning make routes to items. The make routes are then assigned to printers, and the make tickets formatted, in Store Manager using the settings below.

To Assign Make Routes to Printers and Format Make Tickets

1.Go to the Settings> Hardware> Printers > Make Routes tab.

2.In the printer list on the left, select the printer you wish to add make routes to or edit make routes for.

3.Adjust the settings for the printer. Click the settings in the image below to see an explanation of each.

4.After making changes, on the Edit menu, click Save Changes.

5.Refresh Terminal to implement your new settings.

About Primary and Following Routes

Printers can have Following Make Routes assigned to them. Following route items will print on the selected printer only if the order also contains primary route items. For example, let's say the pizza printer is assigned Primary Route A (pizza) and Following Route B (drinks).  If a customer orders a large Hawaiian, the pizza printer prints a make ticket with the large Hawaiian pizza item, because it meets the Primary Route requirement (pizza). When a customer orders a medium pepperoni pizza and a diet cola, the pizza printer prints a make ticket with the medium pepperoni pizza item, a horizontal line, and then the diet cola item. If the customer only orders a diet cola and nothing else, the pizza printer doesn't print anything, as the Primary Route requirement (pizza) was not met. By using only selected order types in combination with the print routes, a store can specify that food items will only print if they are on tickets with certain order types, such as delivery.
