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.
