Building order-printing software, the thing that surprised me most is that every way this fails is silent paper, a sleeping Bluetooth printer, a killed background app, a revoked email password. All of them look exactly like a quiet night. Curious how people running shops actually catch it.
Online orders arrive as email, and in a busy kitchen nobody watches an inbox — so they get missed.
OrderPrint puts an old Android phone by the till. It reads the order email and prints a kitchen ticket to a cheap Bluetooth or network thermal printer.
No computer, no cloud service, no plugin — any shop that emails an order works.
It tells you when a ticket doesn't come out, because a printer that stops quietly is worse than one that breaks.
