Station-wise Reports

Station-wise KOT Reports

Station-wise KOT Reports provide detailed analysis of Kitchen Order Tickets (KOTs) broken down by kitchen stations in EquiBillBook. These reports help you understand station performance, identify bottlenecks, optimize workload distribution, and improve overall kitchen efficiency.

What are Station-wise KOT Reports?

Station-wise KOT Reports analyze KOT data by kitchen station, providing:

• Orders assigned to each station
• Station workload distribution
• Performance metrics per station
• Preparation time by station
• Efficiency comparisons
• Bottleneck identification

Accessing Station-wise KOT Reports

To generate Station-wise KOT Reports:

1. Navigate to Reports → KOT Reports → Station-wise Reports
2. Select the date range for analysis
3. Configure filters (specific station, item category, etc.)
4. Click "Generate Report"

Report Parameters

Configure the following parameters:

• Date Range: Select period (Today, This Week, This Month, This Year, Custom Range)
• Business Location: Filter by branch/location (if multi-branch)
• Station: Filter by specific kitchen station (optional)
• Station Type: Filter by station type (optional)
• KOT Status: Filter by KOT status (optional)
• Item Category: Filter by item category (optional)

Report Contents

Station-wise KOT Reports typically include:

• Station Name: Name of the kitchen station
• Station Type: Type of station (e.g., Grill, Salad, Dessert)
• Total Orders: Number of KOTs assigned to the station
• Total Items: Number of items processed
• Average Preparation Time: Average time to prepare items
• Completion Rate: Percentage of completed orders
• Pending Orders: Number of orders in progress
• Efficiency Score: Station efficiency metric
• Workload Distribution: Percentage of total workload
• Peak Hours: Busiest times for the station

Understanding the Report

Key insights to analyze:

• Workload Balance: Identify stations with uneven workload distribution
• Performance Comparison: Compare efficiency across stations
• Bottleneck Identification: Find stations causing delays
• Capacity Planning: Understand station capacity and utilization
• Staffing Needs: Identify stations needing additional staff
• Efficiency Improvement: Identify opportunities for optimization
• Resource Allocation: Optimize resource distribution
