Managing Batch Orders
Batch Orders are meal orders placed for residents on a unit or dining area that have been defined as batch tickets. The meal order tickets are not sent to the printer based on delivery time, but remain in the Batch Orders list until they are ready to be printed manually.
Note
Defining units and dining areas as batch ticket printing must be completed first in Kitchen setup under the Facility Setup tab. For more information, see Managing Kitchens.
