Restaurant tech has grown by leaps and bounds over the last two decades, making online ordering and portable order taking, including self-serve kiosks, even more prevalent.
However, there's still one dinosaur from the earliest days of restaurant POS systems that's still necessary despite all the restaurant innovation – the restaurant printer. Restaurant tech has also made these printers faster, better, and more precise, making it easier for busy cooks to quickly prepare food.
While your purchased POS system will often provide kitchen printers that integrate with the system, restaurant owners may also choose their own printers, or may supplement the stock printers with other ones. Cuboh, however, integrates our restaurant Saas technology with printers to send them straight to the kitchen printers without manual input. This means that when orders come in from third-party sources or from your own website, they're sent directly to your cooks, allowing you to stay on top of business and deliver your customers their food promptly.
We're looking at some of our most popular printers today, including links to our affiliates.
Star Micronics, Ethernet TSP143IIILan, Thermal Receipt Printer
This is a faster and easier solution for any type of POS system, a grey printer that uses thermal paper for clearer, more easily read receipts.

It has LAN connectivity, allowing it to integrate with any supported device, from a traditional POS to a tablet and even a server taking online orders. It offers 2.4GHz and ready-to-use installation.
With a built-in guillotine cutter, it's easy to quickly tear off new tickets, without damaging others in one clean swipe, and the printer can print up to 22 receipts per minute, which reduces lag times that can affect customer service.

Star Micronics, Bluetooth TSP143IIIBi, Thermal Receipt Printer
For busy restaurants, the best choice for a printer may be Star Micronics' TSP143III, which is a faster, easier, and even better POS printing choice. From one of the industry's leading mPOS companies, this printer is equipped with LAN, WAN, USB, or Bluetooth connectivity. There's also a special web page from the manufacturer which makes it easier to connect the WLAN printer and set it up in AP mode, seamlessly pairing these to your Bluetooth devices or a "plug & play" USB connection.
The USB version has a serial number that allows your restaurant PC to detect the printer on any Windows platform. This kitchen printer is an upgrade from the TSP100, printing at almost twice the speed of its predecessor, and has a special non-curl function that your cooks are sure to appreciate.
