The Prep Settings is were all prep-related settings are managed. The Prep Settings page provides access to prep templates, prep configurations, prep stations, and prep categories—the core settings that define how prep quantities are calculated and how recipes are organized on prep sheets.
These settings control how recipes are prepped, the logic behind suggested prep quantities, and how recipes appear on prep sheets when grouped or sorted.
The Prep Settings window opens from the Prep page by clicking the gear button.
