How to Set Up a Paper Fulfillment Center

This article describes the procedure for adding a paper fulfillment center.

A paper fulfillment center is one that prints out hard-copy tickets to a kitchen or bar ticket printer. The person staffing the fulfillment center (chef, cook, bartender) will be able to pull the orders to be prepared off of the printer  The tickets will also appear in the Tickets section on the iPad. 

To create the paper fulfillment center, log into the Teesnap Admin Portal at admin.teesnap.com. Go to Inventory then Fulfillment Centers.

Finally, return to the edit screen for the Fulfillment Center. Note now that when you switch the Fulfillment Center type to Paper, the "No Printer Configured" message no longer appears. The paper fulfillment center is now set up properly.
