Kitchen order tickets (KOT)
KOT software that gets the order to the kitchen right
A kitchen order ticket (KOT) is how the kitchen knows what to cook. Hand-written slips get lost and misread; NextGenDash sends the KOT from the table or counter to the kitchen printer the moment the order is taken.
The same order then becomes the bill, so what was cooked, what was served and what was charged always match.
One tap to the kitchen
Take the order and press Send KOT; the ticket prints in the kitchen straight away.
Add-ons print as new KOTs
Items added later go to the kitchen as a fresh ticket, so nothing is cooked twice or missed.
From KOT to bill
When the table is ready to pay, the KOTs are already on the bill; no re-entering items.
Thermal printer support
Works with USB, network and Bluetooth thermal printers through the Windows and Android apps.
Fewer disputes
Every item is recorded against the table and time, so it is clear what was ordered.
What is a KOT in a restaurant?
KOT stands for kitchen order ticket. When a captain takes an order, the KOT lists the items, quantities and table number for the kitchen. In a KOT system the bill is created from these tickets, which keeps billing honest and stops items going out of the kitchen without being charged.
Get started in three steps
- 1Connect a thermal printer in the kitchen.
- 2Take the order on the POS for a table or the counter.
- 3Tap Send KOT, then settle the bill when the guest pays.
