Restaurant KOT Software for Clear Kitchen Handoffs
A kitchen order ticket communicates what the kitchen should prepare. A dependable KOT workflow depends on accurate order entry, a legible ticket and a clear process for changes.
01
What a KOT is
KOT means Kitchen Order Ticket. It gives preparation staff an order's items and relevant details without relying on a verbal handoff. The exact fields depend on the POS and the restaurant's configuration.
02
The Petu POS KOT workflow
Create or update an order in billing, send the KOT, and print it from the same application. The ticket includes order items and token/order information. Check a sample print at the station before service.
For the complete transaction around the ticket, see restaurant billing.
03
A kitchen test checklist
Use several orders containing different items and quantities. Check that text is readable, the correct printer receives the ticket, and staff understand how the outlet records a change or cancellation. Repeat after changing printer or receipt settings.
Printer compatibility depends on the actual device and connection. Confirm it rather than relying on a generic compatibility statement.
