An order matching task box teaches a student to read a ticket and build what it asks for, which is the core operation behind most entry-level food service work. This free box is the whole activity, not a page out of one: six order tickets, six finished tray photos deliberately printed out of order so the matching is real, a placement mat, and an answer key. Print it, laminate it, cut it, and the bin is ready for independent work.
What is included
- Six order ticket cards from Cafe Sol
- Six finished tray photo cards, printed out of ticket order so the matching is real
- The order matching mat, laminate and reuse
- The computed answer key, keyed by the letter stamped on each card
- The assembly guide, so the box costs about $1.25 to build
- US Letter print-ready PDF

- What is in the sample, and what does the full pack add?
- The sample is all of Box 1: six order tickets, six tray cards, the mat and the key. The full pack adds the other six order pairs and four more boxes: the six-step napkin roll-up with its production sheet, eight table reset judgment cards with a five-step reference model, eighteen condiment restock cards with a station mat and a priority mat, and twelve coffee orders with nine assembly props. It also adds printable box labels, a data sheet, a Work Portfolio cover, and copy-paste IEP goals.
- Who is it for?
- Transition, vocational, and life-skills teachers working with students in about grades eight through twelve, plus 18 to 22 programs. The cafe and the orders are fictional and built for practice, and the layout is age-appropriate for secondary students.
- How should I print and build it?
- Print at 100 percent with no scaling, on cardstock, then laminate and cut along the dashed lines. Drop the cards and the mat into a 4x6 photo case, which costs about $1.25, and the box is ready to run.
