Square for Restaurants: Is there a way to track cook times and if food has been sent to a table?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Marking kitchen tickets as complete?

In Square for Restaurants, is there a way for the kitchen and/or servers to mark a kitchen ticket as complete? I'm trying to track cook times as well as monitor whether or not food has been sent to a table.

@davisn4561 I checked with the Square for Restaurants team for you and it's currently not possible to track food prepration/cook times with the Restaurants app at this time.

But I agree it would be a really useful thing to keep track of so I've added this to our Feature Request board. We'll let you know about if there's a way to do this in future. 

In the meantime, some restaurants will mark up the paper tickets to indicate the food/order is ready to take. Is that something you're already doing?

Yes, we're marking tickets now when there are a large number of items on a ticket. The direction we were headed was to try to have a kitchen display for Square that's attached to active kitchen tickets and use that to track how long items are taking to prepare. It's basically just a streamlining process we're working on.

Have you found solution for the problem you are looking to determine the preparation time in kitchen from order placement to deliver to the table? 

And is there a way to display the order paced time on the kitchen receipt?
