Understanding Dockets

Dockets are printable documents that provide your team with the information they need to prepare and deliver orders. Each docket includes order details, items, delivery times, and special instructions.

Dockets are automatically generated for accepted orders. Navigate to Dockets from the main menu to view and download dockets.

Automatic Docket Generation

Puree automatically generates the appropriate dockets based on the order type and items in the quote. The system determines which dockets are required and updates them automatically when a quote is created or modified.

Dockets are generated based on what's included in the order:

• Kitchen preparation dockets for orders with menu items
• Driver run sheets for orders with deliveries
• Equipment dockets for orders with equipment items
• Beverage dockets for orders with beverage items
• Event brief dockets for staffed orders

You don't need to manually select which dockets to generate—the system handles this automatically.

Viewing Dockets

The dockets page displays all accepted orders with their event dates, customer names, quote numbers, and last updated times. Use the search bar to find specific orders by customer name or quote number.

Filter Options

All Orders: Shows all accepted orders with upcoming event dates.

Recent Updates: Shows orders dated within the next 7 days that have been updated in the past 72 hours. This filter helps you identify orders that need reprinting.

Downloading Dockets

Click the PDF button next to an order to download the docket. The docket includes all order details formatted for kitchen use.

When viewing Recent Updates, orders that have been modified since the docket was last printed display a red PDF button. Once you download the updated docket, the button returns to normal.
