This is the recorded narration. Screen labels and steps reflect the video as published.

EasyKOT on Android. In this video, we will follow the complete process on the phone. After installing the app, this is the first screen you see. There are three options.

The first option is Run the counter. Choose this if you are the owner, manager or cashier and want to run the whole point of sale on your Android phone. You can take orders on the phone. The setup will let you connect a printer.

Once it is connected, you can print kitchen tickets and bills directly from this phone. The second option is take orders at the tables. Suppose your register app is running on a laptop at the restaurant's billing counter. Your waiters or captains walk to the tables and take orders on their phones.

Suppose orders and kitchen tickets go to the billing counter. The printer connected to the counter handles the printing. The captain does not need a separate printer in this setup. Orders are taken at the tables while the main printer stays at the billing counter.

This is the second option. The third option is for a different setup. For example, at an event, function or wedding, there may be several food counters. Carrying a laptop to every counter may not be convenient.

Several waiters or captains may be moving around and taking orders. With this option, you can give each person their own printer. They take orders on their phone and print their own kitchen tickets and bills on their own printer. With the second option, printing went to one main printer at the billing counter.

With this third option, each person uses their own printer. That is how you can have several people, each with a separate printer. For this walkthrough, we will use the first option. Tap Run the counter.

Use the same email and password that you created when signing up in the admin panel. Enter those credentials here, then tap sign in. If you have forgotten your password, use Forgot your password? to reset it.

This recording uses a test account to demonstrate the process. The phone is now connected and the menu has loaded. The next screen takes us to printer setup. We are using a Seznik thermal printer here.

First, open the phone's Bluetooth settings and pair the printer. This phone already has it paired. If yours is not paired yet, select the printer and complete the pairing request. The list shows the paired devices.

Once the printer is paired, tap done and return to the app. Now tap Add printer. There are several ways to connect a printer. Along with Bluetooth, you can connect a network printer by its IP address, whether it is on Wi-Fi or LAN.

We are using Bluetooth in this walkthrough. A Bluetooth printer must first be paired in Android settings. You can then choose it from the list of paired devices in the app. Select the Seznik printer.

Choose everything for both kitchen tickets and bills. Then select the paper size. This printer uses 58 mm paper. Save the printer settings.

Now tap Test print. A test slip should come out of the printer. Watch the actual printer footage alongside the screen. The test slip has printed.

This confirms the connection and the print on paper. Next, choose print from this phone. We want this phone to print directly rather than send the printing to a separate billing counter. The order screen now opens.

Running orders appear here. There are none yet in this recording. Use Choose table to select a table. You can see tables such as T1 and T2.

Tables are set up through the admin panel and register app. If your setup uses takeaway instead of tables, you can choose the takeaway option. Tap takeaway to open the full menu. Add the dishes you want, where half and full options are available.

Choose the portion you need. After adding the dishes, open Review order. The top shows that this is a takeaway order. You can use Assign table if you want to put it on a table.

Check the dishes and quantities here. Add a note if needed such as a request about spice. Now tap Send KOT, the order is sent for the kitchen. In this setup, the kitchen ticket prints on the printer connected to this phone.

Watch the actual ticket come out. If the customer wants something else later, tap + Add items. Here we add butter garlic naan and return to Review order. The first four dishes are already under Sent to kitchen.

The new dish is under to send. Tap Send KOT again. This time only the new dish prints. The four items sent earlier are not printed again, so the kitchen does not receive a duplicate order.

When the order is complete, open settle. There are cash and UPI options for recording payment. Collect the payment from the customer first. You can also enter the customer's name and phone number if you want those details on the bill.

Here we enter the name and then the phone number. These customer details are optional. We choose UPI to record the payment. The bill now comes out of the printer.

It includes the complete order, the customer details and the total. You can configure GST and other billing settings in the admin panel. Those settings will be covered in a separate video. That is the complete process for taking orders, printing kitchen tickets and making the final bill with EasyKOT on your Android phone.

Shuru mein phone ke 3 roles dikhte hain. Uske baad walkthrough Run the counter chunta hai: owner sign-in, Bluetooth printer, order, KOT aur bill. Audio English mein hai. Waiter phone ka QR ya PIN setup is video mein nahi dikhaya gaya.

Seedhi baat

Captain app kya hai?

Captain app woh app hai jisse captain ya waiter table pe hi, apne phone pe order leta hai. Paper pad ki zaroorat nahi. Table chune, dishes tap kare aur "Send KOT" dabaye. Kitchen ko KOT milta hai, counter ko wahi lines bill pe. Order ek hi baar likha jaata hai, bas.

Friday raat ke rush mein fark yeh padta hai: captain abhi table pe hi hai aur kitchen ne kaam shuru kar diya. Pass pe handwriting padhne ka jhagda khatam. Aur end mein bill wahi hai jo order liya tha. 3 waiter ke 3 phone ka kharcha utna hi jitna ek ka, kyunki EasyKOT restaurant ka price leta hai, phone ka nahi.

  • Poora menu jeb mein. Search, veg/non-veg mark, Half/Full portion, add-ons aur note, bilkul Desktop App jaisa. Menu dashboard par ek baar badle, har phone par aa jaata hai.
  • Khatam hui dish table pe hi pata chalti hai. Dashboard pe dish out mark ki, toh har connected phone pe woh grey ho jaati hai, "Out of stock" likha aata hai aur tap nahi hoti.
  • Running tables live. Waiter phone peOnly my orders pehle se tick hota hai; us captain ke tabs time aur amount ke saath dikhte hain, aur Show all se baaki store tabs khulte hain.

Ek order ka safar, table se kitchen tak.

1

Waiter ka PIN, phir table

Waiter apne PIN se sign in karta hai. Free tables mein se table tap kare, ya parcel ke liye takeaway order khole. Dine-in order ko baad mein takeaway banana ho toh app pehle poochta hai "Make this takeaway?", taaki galti se table khaali na ho jaaye.

2

Dishes tap kare

Half ya Full, add-on, aur "pyaaz nahi" jaisa note. Jo dish khatam hai woh tap hi nahi hoti, toh kitchen se wapas aane wala "sir, woh khatam hai" wala scene nahi hota.

Captain app ka T5 menu: upar Choose items → Review order → Send KOT, Masala Chai ek baar chuni hui, aur neeche T5 order started ka green message aur Review order button

T5 ka pehla dish save hua; phone table aur agla step confirm karta hai.

3

"Send KOT" dabaye

Button pe count likha hota hai, jaise "Send KOT 4". Sirf naye items jaate hain. Customer ne baad mein roti aur mangwayi, toh agla KOT sirf roti ka chhapega, poori table dobara nahi. Phone "KOT saved" dikhata hai aur kitchen delivery ka status alag rakhta hai.

4

KOT kitchen mein, round counter pe

Counter ka kitchen printer KOT chhapta hai, ya kitchen display pe ticket aata hai. Desktop App wale Wi-Fi pe yeh seedha ek hop hai; internet se kuch second lagte hain. Counter pe wahi round usi table ke cart pe dikhta hai, aur captain ke round aur counter pe punch kiye round ek hi GST bill mein settle hote hain.

Desktop App pe Table T4 ka cart: Chicken Angara Kebab, Butter Chicken Full, 3 Butter Naan aur 2 Sweet Lassi, har line ke neeche Sent 11:48, Total ₹892.50, aur KOT fired ✓ Sent 11:48
5

Kuch hatana hai? Ek confirm, bas

Bheja hua item hatana ho toh Remove dabaye. App ek baar poochta hai aur yaad dilata hai ki kitchen ko bhi bata de. Manager PIN nahi lagta. Hata hua item history mein rehta hai, gayab nahi hota. Poora order hi cancel karna hai? "Cancel order" dabaye, ek reason tap kare aur dialog mein table aur bill check kare; bill par paisa record ho gaya ho toh phone se nahi, counter se. Order galat table pe khul gaya? "Move from" button se doosri table par shift kare.

6

Bill counter se, paisa phone pe mark

Settle khole aur "Print bill at the counter" dabaye: bill counter ke printer se nikalta hai, GST bill ka number bhi counter hi deta hai. Customer ne pay kiya toh Cash ya UPI mark kare. Phone par cash drawer nahi khulta aur card read nahi hota, screen pe hi likha hai: "Marking only — no drawer opens and no card is read here." Captain apne tables ke KOT aur bill apne printer par nikaal sakta hai. Poore store ka fallback alag hai: Device → Printing mein Print from this phone ke screen steps follow kare. Purane printing phone ko pehle stop kare; do active store printers se duplicate slips aa sakti hain.

EasyKOT Captain app ka Settle sheet: Subtotal ₹2,180, Tax ₹109, TOTAL ₹2,289, Discount ₹ field aur Apply, Print bill at the till button, kaale CASH ₹2,289 aur UPI ₹2,289 button, aur neeche line Marking only — no drawer opens and no card is read here.

Settle: bill counter se, Cash ya UPI sirf mark hota hai.

Offline

Wi-Fi gaya toh order kahan hai?

Har captain app bolta hai "offline chalta hai". Asli sawaal yeh hai ki Wi-Fi gaya toh order kahan hai. EasyKOT mein phone khud raasta chunta hai, waiter ko kuch select nahi karna. Teen haalat hain, aur har ek mein phone saaf batata hai ki order kahan pahuncha. Terrace wali table ho ya parking, signal hai toh order jaata hai.

Seedha hisaab

Captain kya kar sakta hai, kya nahi

Pehli screen pe "Take orders at the tables" wala card khud bolta hai: "Bills are made at the counter, not here." Paisa aur bill ka number counter ke paas rehta hai. Baaki sab captain ke phone pe. Captain 0.2.12 se teesra Android card, "Take orders and print them", apna chhota printer carry karne wale captain ke liye hai. Uski tables ke KOT aur numbered bills usi phone se print hote hain.

Price

Setup

Setup: ek sawaal aur ek code

Naye phone par EasyKOT Captain Google Play se install kare. Play app ke updates bhi sambhalta hai. Purana website APK pehle se installed hai toh Device → Updates se usi source ka update le; pending orders wale phone par source badalne ke liye app uninstall na kare. Pehli screen poochti hai "What will this phone do?"; printer wale captain ke phone pe "Take orders and print them" chuno. Owner Staff & pay mein captain add karke Connect phone dabata hai. Waiter one-use QR scan karta hai, restaurant download hone deta hai, phir apna staff PIN daalta hai. Email ya password nahi chahiye. Desktop App ka Wi-Fi link optional hai. Poore steps captain app setup guide mein hain.

Saturday ke rush se pehle, har captain phone pe

  • Android 8 ya naya, aur app ke liye kaafi free storage.
  • Internet ke liye mobile data ya Wi-Fi. Network printer ya optional Desktop App link ke liye restaurant Wi-Fi save karo.
  • Har waiter ka apna PIN, share kiya hua nahi.
  • Laptop pe Desktop App ho toh local link optional hai: "Optional: connect to the Desktop App over Wi-Fi".
  • Ek test KOT: sasti dish, "Send KOT", aur kitchen mein jaakar confirm kare ki slip nikli.
  • Pass ke paas ek charger.

Laptop hi nahi hai? Android pe phone aur thermal printer poora counter chala sakte hain, aur waiter ke phone us counter ke saath order lete hain.

Captain ke sawaal

Sawaal jawaab

Captain app kya hota hai?
Captain app woh phone app hai jisse captain ya waiter table par order le sakta hai. Table chune, dishes tap kare aur Send KOT dabaye. Delivery confirmation check kare; kitchen ko KOT aur counter ko wahi lines bill par milti hain.
Kya waiter apne phone pe chala sakta hai?
Haan. Waiter ka apna Android phone chalega, Android 8 ya usse naya. Naya device khareedne ki zaroorat nahi, aur har phone ka alag charge nahi hai.
Internet nahi hai toh order jaayega?
Jis Wi-Fi pe Desktop App hai, uspe phone seedha Desktop App se baat karta hai, internet band ho tab bhi. Wi-Fi se bahar ho toh order internet se jaata hai, kuch second late. Dono na ho toh order phone mein hi rukta hai, screen pe laal Not sent to kitchen dikhta hai, aur Wi-Fi ya internet aate hi khud chala jaata hai.
Kitna kharcha hai? Per waiter charge hai kya?
Nahi. Poore restaurant ka ek price hai, ₹299 + GST har mahine, jitne chahe waiter phone. Pehle 3 mahine free, signup bina card details kare.
iPhone pe chalega?
Abhi nahi. iPhone build App Store par nahi hai, isliye floor ke liye Android phones plan kare.
Waiter khud discount de sakta hai?
Manager ke PIN ke bina nahi. Captain discount daalta hai toh phone pe manager ka PIN maanga jaata hai, aur approval record pe likha jaata hai. Refund Desktop App pe hi hota hai.
Bill table se nikal sakte hain?
Ordinary waiter mode mein Settle → Print bill at the counter dabaye: bill counter ke printer se nikalta hai aur bill number counter deta hai. Captain 0.2.12 se apna chhota printer carry karne wala captain Take orders and print them chunta hai; uski tables ke KOT aur numbered bills usi phone se print hote hain. Payment apne merchant ya bank app mein verify karke Cash ya UPI mark kare. Phone card nahi padhta.
Table change ho sakta hai? Do table merge?
Order ko doosri table pe shift kar sakte ho: order screen pe Move from wala button. Do tables ko ek bill mein jodna aur bill split karna abhi EasyKOT mein nahi hai.
Kitchen display ke saath chalega?
Haan. Captain ka round kitchen printer par KOT ban kar nikalta hai, ya kitchen display par ticket aata hai, bilkul Desktop App se punch kiye order jaisa. Ek spare Android phone bhi kitchen screen ban sakta hai: chef apne PIN se sign in kare.
Captain app aur KOT app mein kya fark hai?
KOT woh ticket hai jo kitchen ko jaata hai. Captain app woh phone app hai jisse waiter order leta hai aur KOT bhejta hai. EasyKOT mein KOT Desktop App se bhi jaata hai aur captain phone se bhi, dono same kitchen printer ya screen pe.
Waiter phone se customer ka number save kar sakta hai?
Haan. Order screen par person icon khole, number ya naam type karke customer chune, ya Add new customer se naya record banaye. Ek field bhi kaafi hai. Settle par Name aur Number optional hain. Number poora dikhta hai, kyunki restaurant ko customer ko call karna pad sakta hai.
Laptop ya POS machine chahiye kya?
Supported laptop pe Desktop App chala sakte ho, ya Run the counter mode wala Android phone aur tested compatible thermal printer. Ordinary captain phones usi ke saath order lete hain aur Print bill at the counter bhejte hain. Captain 0.2.12 se printer carry karne wala captain apni tables ke KOT aur bill usi phone se print kar sakta hai. Sirf phone wala counter bhi released setup hai.

Phone chalu ho gaya? Waiter order kaise leta hai, step by step. Floor pe tables abhi set nahi hain toh floor plan setup, aur kitchen printer ke liye KOT printer setup. KOT machine aur KOT software ka fark is blog mein.
