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:| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open (pending) | Still to be made. |
| Complete | Finished. |
Mark items done as you go
Tap a line item to complete it. The order shows its progress as items finish.
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.
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.
