Kitchen printers are used in restaurants and bars to print out order tickets for the kitchen staff. This helps to ensure that orders are sent to the kitchen accurately and efficiently and that kitchen staff are aware of what orders need to be prepared. Kitchen printers can help to speed up the order fulfillment process by ensuring that orders are sent to the kitchen quickly and accurately, and they can also help to improve communication between the front-of-house staff and the kitchen staff by ensuring that everyone is aware of what orders need to be prepared. 

After enabling the kitchen printers in the configuration settings, you can see the order printer menu in the configuration tab.

You can configure kitchen printers to print out order tickets for specific product categories or for all orders.

A remote printer delivers the ticket directly to the kitchen by clicking on the Order button. You can also choose to print order tickets for all orders, regardless of the product category. This is useful if you want to ensure that all orders are sent to the kitchen, even if they are for items that are not in a specific category.

The specific categories that you print using the kitchen printer will depend on your restaurant's or bar's specific needs. However, by configuring the kitchen printer settings, you can ensure that the kitchen staff is aware of all orders that need to be prepared.
