Notes from the kitchen floor

Cafés and single kitchens first, then food courts, hotels, and chains — how QuickKOT bills them. The kitchen order ticket is the cook’s slip, separate from the guest bill. Table merge, split, and transfer sit with that ticket. Vendor payout settlement keeps a shared till’s accounts clean.

Show breakfast at breakfast: menu hours for restaurants and hotels

Each online category tile on the QR menu and kiosk can follow a Monday–Sunday schedule. A restaurant hides lunch after service; a hotel keeps breakfast, the diner, and the bar on their own hours — without changing the till.

Hub & Spoke for restaurant chains and franchisees

Why the kitchen order ticket matters for a restaurant, a hotel, and a food court

The guest bill collects the money. The kitchen order ticket is what the cook fires. A dining room, a hotel kitchen, and a food-court stall each need their own KOT, or the pass runs on memory.

A restaurant and a bar on one bill: food at GST, alcohol at VAT

Prepared food is GST at 5%. Alcohol is VAT, often 18% or 28%, and the rate follows the state. Two tills make two bills and a manual sum. QuickKOT puts each item’s tax on the same check.

Kitchen prep time: measure the clock from ticket to ready

Sales tell you what sold. Average kitchen prep time tells you how long each station took from the order landing to mark-ready — and that is the number that fixes staffing, menus, and guest wait.

QR menu for restaurants and food courts: the guest orders, the kitchen still gets a ticket
