KOT & Table Management for Android Restaurants — Free with RasaBill

Quick answer: RasaBill is a free Android app that adds Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) printing and table management POS to restaurant billing — orders stay open against a table through multiple rounds, and KOTs print directly to a thermal printer at the kitchen the moment an order is placed. Hold & park lets a server manage several tables at once without losing an in-progress order.

Two things separate a real restaurant POS from a general invoicing app: the kitchen gets the order the moment it’s placed, and the bill for a table stays open and correct through however many rounds get added before the guest asks to pay. RasaBill handles both — Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) printing and table management POS — for free, on an Android phone or tablet.

The Problem With Billing a Table Like a One-Shot Sale

A general invoicing app treats every transaction as a single, complete sale: add items, total the bill, done. Dine-in doesn’t work that way — a table orders a starter, then a main course fifteen minutes later, then dessert after that, and the bill has to reflect everything added along the way, correctly totalled, until the table actually asks to pay. Trying to force that through a one-shot invoicing flow means either re-billing constantly or losing track of what’s already been ordered.

How Table Management Works in RasaBill

RasaBill keeps an order open against a table for as long as the table is occupied. A server assigns the order to a table, adds items as the meal progresses, and the running total updates with every addition — nothing is finalized until the table is actually ready to pay. Multiple tables can be open and being served at the same time, each with its own independent running order.

KOT Billing: The Kitchen Gets the Order Instantly

Once items are added to a table’s order, RasaBill can print a Kitchen Order Ticket directly to a thermal printer — the kitchen sees what’s needed the moment it’s entered, not whenever a server next walks past with a notepad. That’s the real value of KOT billing: it’s not about a nicer-looking receipt, it’s about closing the gap between “the order was taken” and “the kitchen knows about it,” which is where most delays in a busy service actually happen.

Hold & Park Orders — Serving More Than One Table at Once

A server working multiple tables during a rush doesn’t finish one table’s order before starting the next. RasaBill lets an in-progress order be held and parked — set aside without losing anything already added — so a server can jump to a different table, take that order, and come back and recall the parked one exactly where it was left. Nothing gets forgotten because a server got pulled to another table mid-order.

What Happens at the End of Service

When a table is ready to pay, the full order — everything added across however many rounds — totals automatically. RasaBill can print the final bill, share it to the customer’s WhatsApp, or generate a UPI QR code for the exact amount so the customer can pay by scanning. The table then clears and is ready for the next seating.

Every closed table shows up in Sales Reports — a day-by-day revenue chart, total bills, average bill value, and a running list of recent transactions, all filterable by date range.

Setting Up a Kitchen Printer

RasaBill connects to any Bluetooth or USB thermal printer over Android’s standard Bluetooth pairing — pair the printer under Android Settings first, then select it inside RasaBill’s printer settings. Paper size (58mm or 80mm), print mode, and receipt template are all configurable from the same screen.

Yes. RasaBill supports multiple simultaneously open tables, each with an independent running order, plus hold & park for switching between tables mid-order without losing progress.

How is this different from Petpooja or other restaurant POS apps?
