🚀 Overview

The eFood Kitchen/Chef App Module is a dedicated application built to integrate with the broader eFood ecosystem and designed specifically for kitchen staff or chefs to receive, manage, and mark table or delivery orders as completed.
It’s ideal for restaurants, cloud kitchens, or multi-branch setups that want a real-time kitchen display system (KDS) synced with front-end ordering (waiter app, self-order tablet, customer app).

With order statuses, ticketing, table or delivery filters, and real-time updates, this module helps kitchens reduce mis-orders, track prep times, and streamline flows between front and back of house.

Experience: Configured for real-world kitchen workflows—multiple stations/tabs, real-time order feed, priority highlighting, chef action taken, and updates reflected in customer apps or waiter tablets.

✨ Key Features

• 📋 Live Order Feed – orders from dine-in or delivery appear instantly on chef’s tablet or screen with items, customization and notes.
• 🖥️ Kitchen Display Interface – clear ticket view with queue, status, timers and priority indicators (rush, delayed).
• 🎛 Station Filtering & Assignment – multiple kitchen stations (Grill, Salad, Dessert) can filter or assign items to specific screens.
• 🆗 Mark Items & Orders As Complete – chefs mark items when ready; system notifies waiters/customers.
• ⏳ Preparation Timer – track time since items appeared; highlight overdue items to keep service level high.
• 📊 Performance Dashboard/Efficiency – monitor average prep times, completed orders, delayed count (depending on admin panel integration).
• 📲 Tablet-Friendly UI – optimized for Android tablets (and optionally iPads) for chef staff use.
• 💬 Real-Time Sync – integrates with front-end eFood waiter/table apps and delivery modules; status changes propagate instantly.

⚙️ Technical Stack

• Platform: Android (tablet or large-screen phone) using eFood’s “Kitchen/Chef” module.
• Backend Integration: Works with eFood Laravel/ PHP backend for order API, order status updates, branch setup.
• Database: MySQL / MariaDB for order/branch/table data (via backend). Real-time feeds may use WebSockets or AJAX polling.
• Server Requirements: ASPHP-based server with SSL, and internal network connectivity (kitchen tablets connected to same branch network).

Expertise: Ideal for restaurant IT teams or agencies deploying eFood ecosystem, needing a dedicated kitchen/chef station module without building from scratch.

🧩 Installation Guide

1. 📥 Download or install the eFood Kitchen/Chef App module.
2. 🔧 On your branch backend (eFood admin panel), enable the Kitchen App module and create chef-station devices in branch settings.
3. 📂 Install the Android tablet app on devices in kitchen(s), configure branch ID, station ID, API endpoint and login credentials.
4. ✅ Test flows: waiter takes table order → kitchen feed appears → chef marks items ready → waiter receives ready notification → table served.
5. 🚀 Deploy full kitchen setup: mount tablets, assign stations, train staff, monitor feed. Ensure WiFi is stable in kitchen zone.

Tip: Use dedicated tablets mounted at chef stations, set auto-screen awake, disable auto-sleep to avoid missing orders. Ensure network redundancy or local caching in case of network hiccups.
