Kitchen screen & KOT printing
Orders go from the waiter’s phone straight to the right counter — on a kitchen screen, a printed KOT, or both. No slips, no shouting, no “which table?”.

01How orders reach the kitchen
From any phone — Android or iPhone. Notes like “Less oil” go with each dish.
Dosas to the dosa counter, juices to the juice bar. Each station gets only its dishes.
The ticket appears on that counter’s screen and, if you’ve set one up, prints as a KOT.
When the cook taps Ready, the waiter knows to pick it up.
02Kitchen screen
Put a phone or tablet at each counter. Choose what it shows: one station, or every order.
The ticket arrives with the table, waiter, time and a running timer.
The cook taps it so everyone knows the dish is on the stove.
One tap, and the waiter hears it’s ready to serve.
Tickets waiting too long turn red, so nothing gets forgotten.
The kitchen can also mark a dish sold out, or available only mornings, afternoons or evenings. Waiters see it straight away.
03KOT printing
Waiter phones never talk to the printer. One print station per printer picks up each ticket and prints it — so waiters can use any phone, iPhones included.
If your kitchen screen is an Android device, connect a 58 or 80 mm ESC/POS printer to it from the kitchen screen in Chrome. Nothing else to buy.
Run the Delobee print bridge on any always-on device on your restaurant network. Good for network printers or an all-iPhone team.
04What prints
Each KOT shows the KOT number, station, table or order type, waiter, time, dishes, quantities and notes. No prices.
| When | The ticket says | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| New order | NEW | Every dish, split by kitchen station |
| Dishes added | ADDED ITEMS | Only the new dishes |
| Order changed | ORDER CHANGED | Extra quantities, and cancelled ones as “CANCEL 1 x Dish” |
| Table moved | ORDER CHANGED | “Moved from table X” |
| Bill voided before serving | CANCELLED | Sent to every station that had the dishes |
| Reprint | REPRINT | The same ticket, marked as a reprint |
05What to buy
Start with phones only. Add a printer later if your kitchen wants paper.
| Setup | You need | Rough market price |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen screen only | Any phone or tablet you already have | ₹0 extra |
| Option 1 | Android phone/tablet + 58 mm BLE or USB thermal printer | about ₹2,000–3,500 for the printer |
| Option 2 | 80 mm Ethernet/USB kitchen printer + an always-on device for the bridge | about ₹3,500–6,000 for the printer; a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is about ₹2,000 |
Printer prices are rough estimates for common models in India; check current prices with your supplier. Delobee doesn’t sell hardware. Printing costs nothing extra in Delobee.
No. The kitchen screen works on any phone or tablet without a printer. Printing is optional and only starts once you connect a printer.
58 mm or 80 mm ESC/POS thermal printers. Connect a BLE or USB printer to an Android phone or tablet running the kitchen screen in Chrome, or use Wi-Fi/Ethernet printers through the print bridge on your restaurant network.
An iPhone works fine as a waiter phone, and its orders print at your print station. But an iPhone or iPad can’t be the print station itself, because Safari can’t connect to Bluetooth or USB printers. Use an Android device or the print bridge.
No. A KOT shows the KOT number, station, table or order type, the waiter, the time, the dishes with quantities and any notes. Prices only appear on the bill.
No. There is one ticket per order send per station, and retries or offline syncs never print a duplicate. A failed print is retried for about 10 minutes, and anyone can reprint a ticket.
Not yet. Thermal printer fonts have no Tamil letters, so use English dish names if you print KOTs. Staff screens can still be in Tamil.
Yes. Give each counter its own station, such as Main kitchen, Juice bar or Desserts. Each screen can show one station or all orders, and each station gets its own KOT.
Pick your counters, send a sample order and watch it arrive. Connect a printer whenever you’re ready.
