Printers are the least glamorous part of a POS and the first thing to fail in a rush. A little planning makes them dull and dependable.
A receipt printer gives the customer a record. A kitchen printer gives the line an order. They are different jobs, and mixing them (everything to one printer at the pass) is how tickets get lost under a pile of receipts.
Station Duo and Station Solo include a built-in printer, and a Flex does too, so many businesses only need a separate kitchen printer for the line.
At the register for the customer's copy, built in on the Stations and the Flex.
On the line, one per station when different cooks make different items.
Send each item to its station so the fry cook never reads grill tickets.
Keep spare rolls at every station and a second printer if you cannot afford downtime.
| Printer | Where | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in receipt | Station Duo, Station Solo, Flex | Customer receipt |
| Kitchen ticket | Line or pass | Order for cooks |
| Runner ticket | Expo | Handoff and delivery |
| Label | Drink or prep station | Cup or container label |
