Automatic Receipt Printing: Print Every Order on Your Thermal Printer
Print QR and online orders the moment they arrive on any ESC/POS thermal printer — no print dialog, no clicks. Here is how restaurants set it up on Windows.
Many restaurants still want paper: a KOT for the tandoor, a bill for the delivery bag, a copy for the counter. Printing from a browser means a print dialog for every order — fine for one, impossible at rush hour. Automatic printing removes the clicks completely.
How automatic printing works
A small app runs on the counter computer and stays connected to your dashboard. The moment an order arrives, it sends the receipt straight to the thermal printer — no dialog, no button. If the computer restarts, the app starts again by itself.
What you need
- A Windows PC or laptop at the counter.
- An ESC/POS thermal printer — the common 58 mm or 80 mm receipt printers most restaurants already own, over USB or network.
- The free Print Agent — download, install and link it to your restaurant once.
What gets printed
Each receipt shows the order number, table or delivery details, items with options and notes, and the bill with taxes and charges. You can test-print from the dashboard and check a print log if a ticket ever goes missing.
Screen and paper together
Printing works alongside the kitchen screen and WhatsApp alerts — use whichever your team prefers at each station. Read the Print Agent setup guide or start with Shopifire free.
