Refiring an item
Use the Refire Item function to resend an item to the kitchen. This functionality allows you to easily resend an item with top priority to the kitchen and get the order out to the customer in a timely manner. To use this function, you must first add items to the ticket and send it to the kitchen. The POS recognizes the term 'Refire item' once the item is sent to the kitchen. You can refire an item from the POS terminal, EXPO station, or a kitchen display screen (KDS). The text 'REFIRE' appears in red banner on the EXPO station or KDS and the subtext 'Refired' appears on the POS/Kitchen receipt for the refired items.
Note: You are allowed to refire an item only once.

-
Ensure the guest check with the items to refire is active on the order entry screen.

Tap the item to refire in the order ticket window. The Modify Item screen appears.
