OrderPrint
Turn an old Android phone into an automatic order printer
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. Free for 100 orders a month.
I built this because a restaurant I'm close to kept missing online orders. They arrive as email, and during service nobody is looking at an inbox. An order would sit unnoticed until the customer rang to ask where their food was.
Every existing fix felt disproportionate. A cloud receipt printer costs more than the till it sits next to. A PC left running in the corner is one Windows update away from a silent morning. Both need looking after.
So OrderPrint uses the phone already in your drawer. It reads the order email and prints a kitchen ticket — no computer, no cloud service, no plugin.
The part I care most about is failure handling. Every system like this fails silently: paper runs out, a Bluetooth printer sleeps, Android kills a background app, an email password gets revoked — and all of them look exactly like a quiet night. So the status card is never green unless orders are actually printing, and a ticket that doesn't come out raises an alert.
Happy to answer anything, especially the technical bits. Parsing order emails across platforms was harder than expected, and cheap Bluetooth thermal printers have strong opinions about being rushed.
Free for 100 orders a month if you want to try it — an old Android phone and a £20 printer is the whole setup.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built this because a restaurant I'm close to kept missing online orders. They
arrive as email, and during service nobody is looking at an inbox. An order
would sit unnoticed until the customer rang to ask where their food was.
Every existing fix felt disproportionate. A cloud receipt printer costs more
than the till it sits next to. A PC left running in the corner is one Windows
update away from a silent morning. Both need looking after.
So OrderPrint uses the phone already in your drawer. It reads the order email
and prints a kitchen ticket — no computer, no cloud service, no plugin.
The part I care most about is failure handling. Every system like this fails
silently: paper runs out, a Bluetooth printer sleeps, Android kills a
background app, an email password gets revoked — and all of them look exactly
like a quiet night. So the status card is never green unless orders are
actually printing, and a ticket that doesn't come out raises an alert.

printers have strong opinions about being rushed.
