Printing ATO artifacts upon Aloha Kitchen bump
During normal ATO operations, you can print certain artifacts to include with an order, such as item labels for NCR Sticky Media™, bag manifests, and the bag chit. Without integration, you must either manually print these artifacts or print automatically when triggered by a message from the Aloha POS. In either case, this may occur too late in the process or affect your speed of service. With integration, you can use a bump action in AK to automatically print these artifacts.
You can configure the automatic printing of the bag chit, item label, bag manifest, and group chit when the expediter bumps the order in Aloha Kitchen. This builds upon the selection of the 'Enable Kitchen interface' option in Configuring Prerequisites for ATO and AK Integration.
