The PrISM system's Makeline Monitor is an easy-to-read video display that lists all of the order items that the kitchen needs to make. The Makeline Monitor is an optional system component that is, in many cases, replaced by a Kitchen Printer. The main benefit of the Makeline Monitor as opposed to the more common Kitchen Printer is that the large screen text can be seen by more people at greater distances.
