    Star Micronics and OneTablet Help Restaurants Drive More Revenue from Delivery, Backed by Reliable Kitchen Printing

    Star Micronics kitchen printing pairs with OneTablet’s delivery revenue platform to help restaurants increase order volume, improve menu conversion, and fulfill off-premise orders with greater accuracy.

    Somerset, NJ – May 1, 2026 – Star Micronics, a global provider of point-of-sale (POS) hardware, cloud printing, and labeling solutions, today announced its collaboration with OneTablet, a restaurant technology platform that helps independent restaurants and multi-location operators generate more revenue from third-party delivery. Together, the companies give restaurants the tools to improve menu visibility, conversion rates, and average order value across delivery platforms, while ensuring every order prints reliably at the right station.

    Third-party delivery now accounts for 30% or more of a restaurant’s revenue, and that share continues to climb. Restaurants that aren’t actively optimizing their presence on DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub are leaving money on the table. OneTablet gives operators the tools to win on these platforms: better menu visibility, stronger conversion rates, higher average order values, and the performance data to know what’s working and what isn’t.

    As that order volume grows, kitchens need hardware that can keep up. Star’s TSP100 series delivers the print speed, reliability, and uptime that high-volume delivery operations demand, so every ticket reaches the right station, every time.

    From Delivery Platform to the Kitchen Line

    Aggregating orders is only part of the workflow. Restaurants also need to manage menus, monitor performance across delivery platforms, and maintain control over how orders are prepared and fulfilled.

    OneTablet is the operating system for off-premise restaurant operations, consolidating Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub into a single, unified platform. Beyond order aggregation, it gives operators centralized control over menus, pricing, and prep timing, while delivering real-time reporting across all channels.

    By surfacing performance data at the item, channel, and store level, OneTablet enables restaurants to continuously optimize their delivery business—adjusting menus, pricing, and availability to increase conversion, improve order volume, and maximize revenue. Through its integration with Star Micronics printers, OneTablet extends that control directly into the kitchen, ensuring orders are automatically routed, organized, and printed at the appropriate prep stations. This creates a seamless connection between digital optimization and in-store execution, reducing errors and improving throughput during peak service.

    Star’s TSP100 series thermal ticket printers, including the TSP143III (LAN, USB, and Bluetooth models), as well as the TSP143IV X4 and TSP143IV SK X4 sticky linerless label printers, were tested across OneTablet’s platform and performed reliably in each configuration. This allows restaurants to use the same trusted hardware for both standard ticket printing and sticky labeling workflows, depending on their kitchen setup.

    Supporting High-Volume Delivery Workflows

    Off-premise orders introduce significant pressure during peak hours, where missed tickets, unclear modifications, or delayed prints can quickly lead to errors and slowdowns.

    By combining OneTablet’s order aggregation with Star’s reliable printing, restaurants can:

    • route orders instantly to the correct prep station
    • maintain clear, readable tickets during peak volume
    • reduce missed or duplicated orders
    • kitchens moving at the pace of incoming delivery demand

    “Delivery isn’t linear. Orders hit in waves from multiple platforms at the same time. At OneTablet, we bring structure to that. We organize and route orders so kitchens can actually execute. If tickets are not clear and in the right place immediately, performance drops fast. Star gives us the consistency on the print layer to make sure that does not happen.”

    “As restaurants take in orders from multiple delivery channels, consistency at the kitchen level becomes critical. By working with OneTablet, we’re helping ensure those orders are reliably routed and printed at the right station, so staff can act on them immediately without confusion or delay.”

    Extending Workflows with Labeling

    In addition to ticket printing, labeling can be used to support order identification and quality control for off-premise orders. Applying labels to bags, containers, or drinks helps staff verify items before they leave the kitchen, reducing handoff errors during busy service periods.

    As delivery volume increases, combining order aggregation, printing, and labeling provides a more controlled workflow from order intake to fulfillment.

  • Star Micronics Integrates Labeling and Printing Solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen to Improve Order Accuracy and Fulfillment

    Star Micronics Integrates Labeling and Printing Solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen to Improve Order Accuracy and Fulfillment

    The integration connects kitchen workflows with reliable labeling and printing to support faster, more accurate order fulfillment across modern restaurant environments.

    Somerset, NJ – February 23, 2026 – Star Micronics, a global leader in POS hardware, labeling, and cloud printing technology, today announced the integration of its printing and labeling solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen, an industry-leading kitchen display system (KDS) by Crunchtime. The integration extends digital kitchen workflows beyond the screen, helping restaurants improve order accuracy, accountability, and fulfillment across dine-in, takeout, and delivery channels, with particular impact for quick-service restaurants (QSRs), fast-casual brands, large casual-dining chains, and other hospitality venues.

    Kitchen display systems play a critical role in organizing and prioritizing orders, but accuracy challenges often arise once orders move from preparation to packaging and handoff. By integrating Star Micronics’ labeling and printing solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen, restaurants gain a reliable physical verification layer that supports accurate assembly, clear identification, and confident delivery of every order.

    Extending Order Accuracy Beyond the Screen

    Through the integration, orders displayed within Crunchtime Kitchen workflows trigger printed labels and receipts at key points in the kitchen process. Item-level and order-level labels help teams verify contents, eliminate missed items, and minimize confusion during packaging and pickup.

    Star’s mC-Label multifunction printer series supports a wide range of restaurant labeling needs, including item labels, bag seals, and order identification, using linerless, die-cut, or receipt media, all from a single model. Available in 2-inch and 3-inch options, the series also features user-friendly maintenance that reduces downtime and simplifies upkeep for kitchen teams.

    Star’s TSP143IV SK supports sticky linerless labels and receipt printing, giving restaurants flexible options for labeling and order verification. When paired with Crunchtime Kitchen, labeling helps ensure that digital orders are accurately reflected in the final order handed to the customer.

    Orchestrating Complex, Multi-Channel Kitchen Operations

    Crunchtime Kitchen is purpose-built to help restaurants manage complex, high-volume kitchen operations where speed, accuracy, and coordination are critical. Rather than simply displaying orders, the system orchestrates how orders move through the kitchen by pacing tickets, routing items to the right stations, and adjusting workflows based on real-time demand.

    “When kitchens are under pressure, teams need systems they can trust. Bringing Crunchtime Kitchen together with Star Micronics’ labeling and printing solutions gives restaurants greater confidence that orders are executed accurately for the guest.”

    Features such as delayed routing, customizable prep stations, and dynamic capacity management help balance workloads, reduce bottlenecks, and keep multi-item orders finishing together. This approach supports consistent execution across dine-in, takeout, and delivery channels, even during peak periods.

    Paired with Star Micronics’ labeling and printing solutions, these orchestrated workflows extend beyond the screen, giving kitchen teams a clear, physical way to verify, assemble, and fulfill orders accurately.

    Reliable Printing for Real-World Kitchen Execution

    The integration also supports Star’s mC-Print3 thermal receipt printer, delivering fast, dependable receipt and order printing in high-volume kitchen environments. Built for the demands of busy kitchens, the mC-Print3 provides consistent output at prep, expo, and fulfillment stations during peak service.

    Together, Star’s printing and labeling hardware provides restaurants with flexible options to support prep stations, expo lines, and fulfillment areas, while maintaining clarity and reliability across workflows.

    Supporting Modern Restaurant Operations

    As restaurants manage increasing order complexity driven by kiosks, online ordering, and third-party delivery, accuracy at handoff has become a critical factor in customer satisfaction and loyalty. Clear labeling and reliable printing help reduce costly remakes, refunds, and delivery issues, while improving the overall guest experience.

    The integration between Star Micronics and Crunchtime Kitchen enables restaurant operators to unify digital order management with consistent, real-world execution across every service channel. Designed for multi-channel, enterprise restaurant environments, Crunchtime Kitchen helps operators maintain service consistency and throughput by intelligently managing order flow across stations, channels, and peak demand periods.

    A Trusted Partner for KDS Labeling Solutions

    With decades of experience supporting restaurant technology ecosystems, Star Micronics continues to work closely with leading software providers to deliver dependable hardware solutions. The integration with Crunchtime Kitchen reinforces Star’s role as a go-to provider of labeling and printing technology for KDS environments.
