The struggle

Sound familiar?

📝

Paper KOT chaos

Servers running paper slips between billing and kitchen — half get lost, half are unreadable, mistakes pile up.

😵

Kitchen doesn't know what's urgent

Without a timer or queue, the kitchen guesses. Table 4 waits 45 minutes while a takeaway gets prioritised by accident.

🔁

No re-prints

Lost KOT? Pull out a notepad and re-ask the customer. Embarrassing for them, painful for you.

Kitchen Display

A kitchen screen the chef can actually trust

Live KOTs appear on the kitchen display the second the cashier confirms an order. Colour-coded urgency timers, status flow, and filter pills keep the chef in control of the queue.

  • Real-time KOT push — no manual refresh
  • Status flow: Waiting → Preparing → Ready
  • Colour timers: green → amber → red
  • Filter Dine-in / Takeaway / Delivery
  • Auto-clear completed KOTs after 6 hours

Auto Print KOT

KOTs print themselves — no servers running

Dedicate a thermal printer to the kitchen — BillPanda prints the KOT the second the order is confirmed. Configure separate printers per station (tandoor, Chinese, beverages) and BillPanda routes items automatically.

  • Auto-print to dedicated kitchen printer
  • USB, Bluetooth & network printer support
  • Multi-station routing (tandoor, beverages…)
  • Re-print KOT with one tap
  • Item modifications & special notes printed clearly

Modifications & Notes

"Extra spicy", "no onion" — printed loud and clear

Item modifiers and special instructions print on the KOT in highlighted text, so the chef sees them at a glance. No more "I didn't see that note".

  • Per-item modifier list (add-ons / remove-ons)
  • Free-text special instructions per item
  • Modifications printed in CAPS on KOT
  • Track modifier popularity in reports
  • Modifier-based price adjustments

Order Routing

Dine-in, takeaway, delivery — one screen, one queue

Mix all three order types without confusion. Filter the kitchen screen to any combo, mark items 86'ed in seconds, and broadcast "out of stock" to all billing terminals instantly.

  • Dine-in / Takeaway / Delivery filters
  • Delivery rider name + time on KOT
  • Mark "86" on items — disables on all terminals
  • Per-order-type prep time targets
  • Per-order-type performance reports

Yes. Configure separate printers per station (tandoor, Chinese, beverages, dessert). BillPanda automatically routes the right items to the right printer.
Do special instructions and modifiers print on the KOT?
Yes. Item modifiers (extra cheese, no onion, well done) and free-text notes are printed in CAPS on the KOT so the chef sees them immediately.
Can I re-print a KOT?
