Creating an assembly line

An assembly line is created using prep stations that are then moved into the correct sequence. Before you create an assembly line, make sure that:

You created prep stations.
You set the Fulfillment Method setting to Fulfill at each station independently.
You verified that the menu entity and the assembly line you plan to assign to that menu entity use at least one of the same prep stations.

After you verify that these prerequisites are complete, you can 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

Access Toast Web.
Choose Kitchen > Kitchen stations > Assembly lines. The Assembly lines page opens.
Select the Add new button in the top right. The New assembly line dialog opens.
Using the Name text box, assign a name to the assembly line and select Okay. The assembly line edit page opens.
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.

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