Create Shared Prep Stations for Multi-Location Groups
Please follow these steps to create shared prep stations for your multi-location groups.
In Toast Web, navigate to Kitchen > Kitchen stations > Prep stations.
Select +Add to add a new prep station.
Type the name of the Prep Station you need. As a best practice, include "(Shared)" in the prep station name
Select Save to save the prep station.
Select the You Are Viewing drop-down to see all locations in the group, and select the top restaurant group before selecting Update. In this example, we selected the MLM Training Playground Group.
Select the three dots on the right of the Prep Station and choose New Version.
Select the drop-down menu list under Target. Then select the location you're looking to add a version of - in this example, Boston. Then select Submit.
As a best practice, we suggest renaming the version to reflect the target. You can select the station name to update it.
Note: Save your changes before moving forward.
Repeat steps 7 through 11 to create versions for ALL locations in the group.
Once the versions are created, you can configure the local prep stations as needed
