Fire and Hold items
Learn how to hold and fire items to the kitchen manually.
The "Fire" and "Hold" buttons allow you to send items to the kitchen manually. While the POS typically sends orders to the kitchen immediately upon confirmation, these buttons will enable you to stagger the release of items.
-
Hold
: This button allows you to delay sending specific items to the kitchen.

Fire

This feature is particularly useful for complex orders or when you want to control the timing of item preparation.
