KDS station routing

KDS station routing is the POS configuration that sends each menu item (or modifier) to the kitchen station that prepares it — grill, fry, salad, drinks, pastry — instead of dumping every ticket on one screen. Proper routing cuts ticket time 15–25% on a busy service and is a precondition for parallel-station prep. LOOP supports per-modifier routing out of the box.
