KOT (Kitchen Order Ticket) is a sheet sent to the kitchen for preparing the food orders taken. It contains the table number, food items ordered, and their respective quantity.
Benefits of KOT:
In olden times, the waiter used to take orders and manually deliver the carbon copy of that order to the kitchen for food preparation. But this conventional method can be tiring and time-consuming
With the help of KOT, once the orders are taken, it automatically sends the order details to the printer in the kitchen. With this, orders can be processed faster without human errors
It is essential in restaurants where the kitchen is on one floor, and the dine-in area is elsewhere
The orders are automatically generated through punching. Hence, it's handy and easy to use
