Companion software

Kitchen Printer Agent

Optional Windows software that turns FoodOrders.ai orders into printed kitchen tickets on a printer you already own. Your orders, kitchen screen and dashboard work with or without it.

The Agent never becomes a single point of failure. If the computer is off, offline or the printer is out of paper, tickets stay on the kitchen screen and in the dashboard until they are handled.

1. Paired to your restaurant

The Agent shows the restaurant name and location it is paired to, so nobody has to guess which computer belongs to which kitchen.

2. A printer is chosen and tested

You pick a printer already installed in Windows and review its test page. The choice is saved only after you confirm the test looked right.

3. Automatic printing is on

Once the first two checks pass, new tickets print as orders arrive. If no printer is selected, the Agent refuses tickets instead of quietly holding them.

Availability

Where the Agent stands today

We describe hardware honestly. Anything not yet validated on real restaurant equipment is named as pilot or planned, never as supported.

• Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit) only. macOS and Linux builds are in development.

• Distributed to kitchen pilot restaurants and accounts whose plan includes kitchen printing.

• Printer models are validated in a controlled pilot — see the printer compatibility list.

• Current Windows installers are signed and timestamped by FoodOrders.ai so customers can verify the publisher before installation.
