Conditional Printing

(Maitre'D 2005 and later versions of Maitre'D)
The Conditional Printing interface allows to link the printout of items from different divisions that go to separate printers on the same order. For example, let us say you order at the same time an item from the Pasta division and an item from the Grill division. Furthermore, these items are setup to print on different printers. On the Pasta printer, the Pasta item will print first, followed by a note to synchronize the Grill item on the same order.
