# Cooking Start Confirmation

Cooking Start Confirmation is designed for orders with different products that have varying cooking times, allowing coordination between stations to ensure all items finish at the same time.

## Configuration

Cooking start confirmation requires configuration at station level.

To access this setting, go to **KDS Settings**. Set **Cooking start confirmation** to:

* **Manage** — Station that controls timing.
* **Display** — Station that waits for start signal.
* **Disabled** — Items can be cooked immediately without waiting for start signals from other stations.
