ExtraHelper turns the phone in your pocket into a full restaurant terminal. Take an order at the table, send it straight to the kitchen, and settle the bill without walking back to a till. TAKE ORDERS WHERE THE GUEST IS Open a table, build the order from your live menu, and add custom items on the fly. Every change syncs to the rest of your team instantly, so the floor and the kitchen never fall out of step. KITCHEN TICKETS THAT ROUTE THEMSELVES Fire an order and each item lands at the right station: grill, bar, dessert. No shouting across the pass, no paper slips going missing. PRINT WITHOUT A CASH REGISTER Pair any Bluetooth thermal printer, or print over WiFi. Bills, kitchen tickets, and order slips, all reprintable the moment a guest asks. GET PAID FASTER Print a payment QR code right on the bill so guests can settle from their own phone. KEEP WORKING WHEN THE INTERNET DOESN'T Orders are saved on the device and sync the moment you are back online. A dropped connection never costs you a table. BUILT FOR A WHOLE FLOOR Owner, manager, and staff roles, each seeing what they need. Store room counts with barcode scanning, a manager log for the things worth writing down, and a dashboard showing what the shift actually did. ExtraHelper requires an ExtraHelper account, created for you by your restaurant. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.17 — 2026-10-07 • Dishes with availability windows can't be ordered outside them: they grey out with the time they're back. • iPad layouts: lists and forms sit in a centred column, and the order screen shows the cart beside the menu. • Opens faster: your restaurants and permissions load from the phone and refresh in the background. • Marking a dish sold out (86) now has its own permission, so the kitchen can use it. • Customers follows your plan. • Bills: a bill opened last night and paid today now shows under All today. • Printed bills and receipts keep same-price items with different add-ons on separate lines. ### 1.0.16 — 2026-09-29 Coupons: create, edit, pause and share flyer QR codes from the phone. Team: owners can set a staff member's password or create a login for an invite. Bills: opens on All today; the outstanding-balance tab is now called Credit. Dish costs and gross profit on the dish editor and Day close (with permission). Customers: points, credit and unpaid bills, with collect-at-checkout. Scan a coupon QR at checkout to apply it. Expense category is now a dropdown. ### 1.0.15 — 2026-09-26 Run the menu, the daily book and the night count from your phone. - Menu: add and edit dishes with a photo, price, category, veg mark and kitchen stations. Mark a dish sold out or back in stock with one tap, even with no signal. Manage add-ons, time windows, combos and categories. - Expenses: log what you spend through the day (rice, gas, a ride for staff), with a receipt photo. It works offline and sends when you're back online. - Day close: count the cash in hand and check online received against what the day should have, and see the day's expenses. - Order alerts: get notified when an order is new, ready, served, billed or paid, with a bell and an unread count. - Receipts show your logo and payment QR, and can be shared as a picture. - Fixed: Day close now pages forward to today properly. ### 1.0.13 — 2026-08-24 Keeps working when the wifi does not. - Orders, tables and the kitchen board now open straight from this phone when there is no coverage, instead of waiting on the network and showing an empty screen. - Fixed: your device settings - printing from this device, appearance, kitchen station and the restaurant you last picked - no longer reset when you close and reopen the app. - New: a short introduction on first launch explaining what the app does. ### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-23 Fixes a sign-in problem introduced in 1.0.8. • Staff who were already signed in could be shown the "Join a restaurant" screen when they reopened the app, even though they belong to a restaurant. Signing out and back in was the only way through. The app now waits for sign-in to finish before deciding where you belong, and a failed check no longer looks like being removed from your restaurant. • Your restaurant and permissions are no longer cleared from the phone on startup, so opening the app with no signal still puts you straight into your restaurant. ## More apps by Tarkeshwar Gurung - [Gym Track Pro Lifter Log](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gym-track-pro-lifter-log/id6762596384) - [Gym Tross](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gym-tross/id6810993707) All apps by Tarkeshwar Gurung: https://appshunter.io/developer/1894788373 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
