Network printer
The printer is on the same local network as the till. You enter only the IP address. The fastest and most robust: tickets keep printing even with the internet down.
How it works
Below we have left nothing out — down to where the cable in the kitchen goes. No technical knowledge needed; it is written for the curious.
In service
From the waiter reaching the table to the ticket being in the kitchen.
From a tablet, a phone or the computer at the till. Touching the table on the floor plan is enough.
From category to product. Notes such as "rare" or "no onions" are attached to the item and print on the ticket.
This is the moment everything is decided: it is written to the bill and enters the print queue of every station involved.
The hot kitchen takes its ticket, the bar takes its own. One order, two tickets, two printers.
The bill can be split, and payment taken in cash, by card or mixed. The till ticket prints and the drawer opens.
When payment is taken, the recipe’s ingredients leave stock. Waste and counts live in the same ledger; low-stock warnings arrive in advance.
The closing report summarises the sales and posts itself to the bookkeeping and stock sides.
Printer connections
Which one suits you depends on where the printer sits and how it connects. You can also mix all three in one venue.
The printer is on the same local network as the till. You enter only the IP address. The fastest and most robust: tickets keep printing even with the internet down.
For a USB printer, or a printer on another network. You install a small program on the computer; it asks for the 8-digit code on screen and handles the rest.
For starting right now. A print dialog opens. It needs no setup but it does need one click per ticket.
Cloud agent
You download it, double-click, and it installs. It starts on boot and runs before anyone has logged in — a kitchen printer cannot wait for the cashier to sign in to Windows.
The only thing it asks for during setup is the 8-digit code shown on the POS screen. You enter it, the agent introduces itself, and it finds the printers on the network by itself.
Drag it — or focus the slider and use the arrow keys.
Getting started
We do not leave you alone; if you like, we do it together on the phone.
The business name and an email address. We do not ask for card details.
Add items by hand, or send us the list you have and we will load it.
Draw the floor plan and name the tables. If you are using the QR menu, the codes are generated here.
An IP for a network printer; the agent program for USB. You test the connection from the screen — if a ticket comes out, you are done.
Each waiter gets their own login and their own permissions. That is how it stays clear who did what.
We suggest running the first shift in parallel with your old method. By the second shift you will not want to.
Opening an account takes a few minutes. For a network printer you only enter its IP address; the system tests the connection straight away.
For a USB printer, or a printer on a different network, you install a small program. It asks for the 8-digit code shown on the POS screen and handles the rest itself.
We enter your menu together and connect your printer together. If you do not like it, nobody calls you.
No card details required.
