Creating an assembly line

Note

The configuration options for assembly lines on Toast Web are still in development.

An assembly line is created using prep stations that are then moved into the correct sequence. To use assembly lines, you first need to create the assembly line and then assign the assembly line to the relevant menus, menu groups, and menu items.

There is no maximum number of prep stations that you can use in an assembly line, but you can only use a prep station once in an assembly line.

The following procedure is for creating an assembly line for a single-restaurant location. For information about how to create assembly lines for multi-location restaurants, see Assembly lines for multi-location restaurants.

To create an assembly line

1. Access Toast Web.

2. Choose Kitchen > Kitchen stations > Assembly lines. The Assembly Lines page opens.

3. Select the Add new button in the top right. The New assembly line dialog opens.

4. Using the Name text box, assign a name to the assembly line and select Okay. The assembly line page opens.

5. Under the Sequence Prep Stations section, use the Prep stations dropdown menu to select the prep stations you want to use in the assembly line. You can also use the search box within the dropdown menu to find a specific prep station.

6. Use the reorder icon to hold and move the prep stations into the order you want items to travel through when using the assembly line.

7. Select the Save button. The assembly line page closes.

8. Publish your changes.
