## Understand On-Site Operations First

During peak hours, front-desk staff toggle between order-taking, explaining variants, and verbally relaying notes. Mixed dine-in and takeout orders make it difficult for kitchens to quickly prioritize production from paper tickets.

## How to arrange system workflows?

### 1. Organize the menu first

Define cup sizes, temperature, toppings, and light meal combos as explicit options; avoid cramming critical specs into free-text notes.

### 2. Connect ordering entry points

Configure front-end and H5 table QR code menus; ensure every product option can be added to orders.

### 3. Assign kitchen tasks

Use kitchen tasks and kitchen tickets to distinguish pending vs. completed orders; verify note display and print routing.

### 4. Verify daily records

Cross-Check Payment Records, Orders, and Meal Preparation Records to Identify Handling Methods for Refunds, Cancellations, and Duplicate Prints.

## How to determine if the process is ready?

- Accurate transmission of add-ons, dine-in, and takeout information to the kitchen

- Cancellations and refunds do not leave duplicate pending production tasks

- Manual verification entry available for abnormal orders after network restoration
