KOT software: the kitchen gets the order the moment you send it.
Press Send KOT at the table or counter. It prints in the kitchen, so nobody shouts across the room. Ask Pili, your AI assistant, how last night’s orders went.
Free plan. No credit card needed.
What is a KOT?
A KOT, or kitchen order ticket, tells the kitchen what to cook for a table or a counter order.
In Ordrio you press Send KOT in Bills & Books. The ticket reaches the kitchen at once, on a printer or a screen, with notes like Less spicy. Nobody shouts across the room.
- Running orders, bills and KOT in one screen
- Each station gets only its own items
