Running a restaurant with paper order pads, hand-written KOTs, and manual billing creates chaos at peak hours — lost orders, wrong items, billing mistakes, and unhappy customers. Dhando POS brings your entire restaurant operation onto one phone screen, from the moment a table is seated to the final bill.
📈 2026 Trend: India's restaurant technology market is growing fast. Restaurant billing software with KOT (Kitchen Order Token) printing has become the minimum expectation for any eatery — from a 10-table dhaba to a 100-cover restaurant. Digital KOT eliminates handwritten kitchen slips, reduces order errors by up to 60%, and speeds up order-to-table delivery significantly.
Running a restaurant, café, dhaba, or cloud kitchen? Dhando POS offers a complete restaurant POS with KOT printing and table management. Take table orders from a phone, print kitchen tickets instantly, track every table's running order, and generate GST-compliant bills at checkout — all from one app. Designed for the pace and complexity of Indian food service.
Table Floor Plan
Open the Restaurant screen and you see a visual grid of all your tables. Each table tile shows its current status at a glance:
- Green: Table is available — tap to start a new order
- Red: Table is occupied — tap to view or modify the order
- Yellow: Food is cooked and ready to serve — table is waiting
The Complete Order Flow
Seat the Customers
Tap on an available table. The POS screen opens for that table. You can set the service type — Dine In, Takeaway, or Delivery.
Take the Order
Browse the menu, search by name, or tap category chips. Add items to the cart with quantities. For each item, you can add modifiers (extra cheese, no onions, spice level) and item notes.
Send to Kitchen (KOT)
Tap "Send to Kitchen". A Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) prints automatically on the kitchen printer via Bluetooth. The table status changes to Occupied. The chef sees exactly what to prepare.
Add More Items
If customers order more, add items and send a second KOT. The kitchen receives only the new items — no duplication. The running bill accumulates everything.
Mark as Cooked / Served
Once the kitchen prepares the order, mark it as cooked. The table turns yellow on the floor plan — a visual signal for service staff to bring the food.
Final Bill & Payment
When the customer requests the bill, open their table and tap Finalize. Add any discounts, select the payment method, and print the receipt. The table resets to Available.
