Line items vs. orders
- A line item is a single product to make — “2× sourdough,” “1× birthday cake.” It’s the unit your team actually works on.
- An order is the whole basket a customer placed. It’s done when all of its line items are done.
Statuses
Both orders and line items move between two states:
The board groups orders under Open and Complete tabs with live counts, so you always know how much is left.
1
Mark items done as you go
Tap a line item to complete it. The order shows its progress as items finish.
2
Complete the order
When the last item is done, complete the order. If you like, Dashprep can prompt you automatically once every item in an order is finished.
3
Changed your mind? Recall it
Marked something done too soon? Recall moves it back to open — individually or in bulk.
Everything is live
The board updates itself. When a new order comes in, or a teammate marks something done, every screen showing the board updates within seconds — no refreshing, no “is this the latest list?”Next: prep stations
Split the work across the floor so each station sees only what it owns.
