🧾 Order preparation

This feature allows you to track and mark as ready orders requiring a preparation step.

Activating the feature

To enable order preparation, go to:

Configuration > Controls

Access the Preparation page

Once the option is activated, a new “Preparation” page becomes accessible.

It displays the list of recent orders to be prepared.

The page updates automatically without the need to refresh it.

  • Orders entered via the online store or checkout appear on this page.

Managing preparer users

You can assign the “Preparer” right to certain users.

This role only gives access to the list of orders to be prepared or prepared.

The user will be able to indicate when an order is ready.

Validation of the preparation

On the Preparation page, two types of buttons are available to mark an order or item as prepared:

  • ✅ Validation of an article (preparation of a single article)
  • ✅ Validation of an entire order (all items in the order are marked as prepared)

The global validation option can be disabled in the configuration page.

⚙️ Adjust user access rights so they can manage preparation without accessing the entire software.
