      t_text: <p>A grill station is generally used to refer to the section of a commercial kitchen in which food items are cooked on a fixed grill.</p><p>Examples of restaurants, steakhouses, hotels, and even <a href="https://plumpos.com/industries/fast-food/">fast food</a> kitchens all have grill stations where food, including steaks, hamburgers, chicken, seafood, and vegetables, would typically be cooked using the grill method.</p><p>The goal of the grill station is to cook items rapidly via the utilization of high temperatures and simultaneously provide the characteristic grilled flavor and grill mark that each of the diners has requested.</p><h2>How does the grill station work?</h2><p>The grill station is on the kitchen production line and must work with all other kitchen stations.</p>Customer orders are taken in the <a href="https://plumpos.com/">POS system</a>. Orders are displayed on the kitchen display system (KDS) or printed as kitchen tickets. The grill cook receives the orders. The food is cooked to recipe at the grill. The finished items are passed to the <a href="https://plumpos.com/glossary/expo.html">expo</a> station for quality check and plating. The order is delivered to the customer. Timing with the grill station and all other kitchen stations is very important to have all of a customer's orders together.
