Overview

The Kitchen Prep Item Label Sheet Report allows you to print labels for menu items and prep items tied to your orders. These labels are commonly used on pans, containers, and packaging so your team and the Customer can quickly identify what each item is without opening it.


This report uses your prep item formulas, so labels will only generate if formulas have already been created.


The report is formatted specifically for Avery 5160 label sheets, which are required for proper alignment when printing.

You can pull this report for:

  • A single day to support daily prep

  • A date range when prepping or labeling items in advance

Understanding the Label Sheet

Once generated, the report opens as a PDF formatted for label printing.

Each label includes:

  • Prep item name

  • Quantity and unit of measure

  • Station name

  • Order context tied to the selected date range

At the top of the report, you will see:

  • The number of label sheets to be printed

  • Options to refresh, download, or print

Printing Your Labels

This report is designed for Avery 5160 label sheets.

To print:

  • Load Avery 5160 label sheets into your printer

  • Open the PDF

  • Click Print

  • Confirm your printer settings before printing


Best Practices

  • Always confirm formulas before printing labels to ensure quantities are accurate.

  • Assign stations to all prep items for cleaner, more organized labels.

  • Run labels after final order cutoffs to avoid reprinting.

  • Print an extra sheet for last-minute changes or add-ons.
