How to Get Delivery App Orders on Your Kitchen Screen
Put Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat orders on the Café QR kitchen screen and printers through Deliverect, Otter or the order API, and what's coming next.
Updated 21 October 2026
If you sell on delivery apps, you probably have a tablet for each one on the counter. Someone reads each order off the tablet and types it into the till or shouts it to the kitchen. At a busy time that's where orders get missed or made wrong.
Café QR can put delivery app orders straight onto the same kitchen screen and printers as your counter, table and online orders, so the kitchen works from one queue.
What happens to a delivery app order
- It arrives already paid, with the app's name on the ticket.
- It prints on the same kitchen printers and stations as your own orders.
- The kitchen moves it along as usual: Start cooking, Mark ready, Picked up.
- It counts in your reports and cash-up, so the day's takings are in one place.
- It arrives once. If a hub sends the same order twice, you still get one ticket.
Connect through Deliverect or Otter
A delivery-app hub such as Deliverect or Otter collects orders from Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat and others and sends them to your POS. You need your own account with the hub; they bill you for it.
- Open Settings, then Delivery apps.
- Under API keys, name a key after your hub (for example "Deliverect") and tap Create key.
- Copy the key and give it to your hub when it asks for your POS connection.
- Place a test order on one of the apps and check it reaches the kitchen screen.
Only the owner can create keys. With more than one branch, the hub says which branch each order is for.
Connect your own system
Any other system can send paid orders with the same API key, to POST /api/v1/orders. The Delivery apps page shows the fields it takes. Sending the same order twice with the same external ID never makes two tickets.
Direct Uber Eats and Deliveroo: coming soon
Direct connections to Uber Eats and Deliveroo, with no hub in between, are built and in final testing with Uber and Deliveroo. They aren't switched on for cafés yet, so for now use a hub as above. Once they're live you'll be able to:
- connect your store from the Delivery apps page,
- have orders accepted automatically, or for Deliveroo accept them by hand per branch,
- send your menu and prices to the app,
- pause your Uber Eats store for 15, 30 or 60 minutes from the kitchen screen or till.
We'll update this article when they're live.
What it costs
Delivery app orders are included in the POS and Multi-site plans, or come as an add-on to Order & Pay. See pricing for today's price. To see what each app really earns after its commission, use profit per dish.
