# Create a Prep Station

Prep Stations are where items are physically prepped in a restaurant. Creating definitive stations can help organize prep sheets, and as prep Reports are ran and Ingredient Lists are pulled, they will be organized by station to assess variances and easily distribute to Prep Station workers. Prep stations can be created and accessed from the [**Prep Stations page**](/doc/docs/prep-stations-page).

> [!WARNING]
> These prep stations are related to classic prep and [prep logs](/doc/docs/prep-logs), which is currently only available to organizations that used prep logs **prior to Q4 2023**. For all other users, this page has been removed to make way for Prep updates.
