Function KitchenQueueCard

The complete kitchen slip for one active order.

The slip is the glanceable unit of the kitchen queue: the optional queue number, every item the operator must cook, the optional note, the fulfillment state, and the fast forward control. Nothing here is collapsed, abbreviated, or hidden behind an interaction, so the next order is understandable at a glance and to assistive technology alike.

An absent queue number renders nothing at all in the number position, so no placeholder or fabricated value can be mistaken for a real number, and the internal order identity is never presented as one.

Item labels come from the immutable snapshots finalization captured. Finalization resolves the operator's optional kitchen label to the product name when none was set, so the slip shows the label that was in force when the order was finalized; a later catalog rename, relabel, or deletion cannot change what the kitchen is asked to cook.

A quantity of one is omitted; larger quantities are explicit. A single unit is the ordinary case and needs no number, while anything above one is always spelled out so the operator cannot cook the wrong amount.

The forward control is offered for every active state, and it is always the one valid operation. A queued slip starts preparing, a preparing slip becomes ready, and a ready slip is handed over — after which the order leaves the queue entirely and this slip stops existing rather than showing a spent or disabled control. The control is named after what it does, so the operator never has to infer the next state from an icon.

The explicit state selector is the deliberate alternative to those fast controls. Alongside them, one named control opens KitchenStateOptions, which lists every operation this order may perform by name and marks the states it may not enter. Both surfaces render the same stateOperationsByStatus policy and call the same callbacks, so the selector can never offer a transition the fast controls would refuse, and it is never a general state editor.
