What does it mean when a server has a "Check Ready" status?

Having a "Check Ready" status indicates that the guest check is updated and ready to present to the customer. This status means that the server has completed all necessary steps to finalize and prepare the check for the guest, including recording all items ordered and calculating the total amount due. Presenting the check at this stage ensures a smooth conclusion to the dining experience and allows for any last questions from the guest regarding their bill. Understanding this terminology is crucial for effective communication and service flow within the restaurant, as it helps servers know when they are ready to proceed with one of the final steps in the service process.
