# Sending the order to the kitchen

When you have finished taking the order, tap **Finish order** at the top right. You do not need to go through the [order](https://docs.pizzagest.com/books/pizzagest-pda-icL/page/reviewing-the-order) screen first.

When you do:

- The order is sent to PizzaGest and **the ticket is printed in the kitchen**, without anyone having to go to the computer.
- The PDA goes back to the [Orders](https://docs.pizzagest.com/books/pizzagest-pda-icL/page/tables-bar-and-terrace) screen, where the table is listed under **Open orders**.

From then on, the table can also be viewed and paid from PizzaGest.

Keep in mind that:

- If you tap **Finish order** without adding any product, the table is closed and becomes free again.
- While you have an order open on your screen, other devices see it as **Locked**. So always tap **Finish order** when you are done, even if you changed nothing.

If the guests order something else, go back into the table from **Open orders**. See [Changing an order already sent](https://docs.pizzagest.com/books/pizzagest-pda-icL/page/changing-an-order-already-sent).
