This guide is for agents quoting hardware for a pizza shop, sandwich shop, taqueria, wing spot, burger counter or any quick-service restaurant: orders taken at a counter or by phone, food made in a kitchen out of sight of the register. For the full catalogue of devices and the rules behind every quote, see Stackably hardware options and bundles (Sunmi). For what the software does for restaurants, see Stackably for Quick Service.

Upsell for either build: a second station for phone orders or a second register line (P3 MIX, T3 or D3 Pro, depending on the business), and a P3H for carry-out pickup or line busting. Offer; do not add by default.

Restaurants are the one vertical where the Ubiquiti network is almost always on the quote, because the kitchen printer sits where no USB cable from the register can reach it. Quote it cleanly:

The one shop that does not need a network: a counter where the kitchen printer is within a USB cable of the register (a tiny shop where the make line is right behind the counter). Plug the network printer into the T3 or D3 Pro by USB and skip Ubiquiti. Rare, but it happens.

Start with one network printer. Most pizza and sandwich shops run on a single kitchen ticket printer. Every item routes to it with Print Configuration in Shop+.

Add a second printer when the kitchen has distinct stations that should not share a ticket: make line and oven/cut table, hot line and cold line, kitchen and expo. Each product is routed to the right printer.

Add a KDS for assembly-line kitchens and high-volume lines where staff bump items as they go and tickets change colour as they age. A KDS can replace printers or sit alongside them; many shops run a KDS at the make line and a printer at expo for a paper slip. Confirm the current KDS device model and cost with the Stackably team before quoting. See Print Configuration in Shop+.

Network printer. Sunmi 80mm Kitchen Cloud Printer. Fast, grease- and water-resistant, with a sound and light alert. Any number per location. On our network when it is away from the register; by USB when it sits beside one.

KDS. Sunmi Flex 3 KDS, pre-configured on the Ubiquiti network. Expo screen optional. Model and cost: confirm with the Stackably team.

Cash drawer. Sunmi MAX or the third-party drawer we resell (confirm model). The Mini is no longer offered.

Label printer. Not typically a restaurant item today; restaurant use is planned. If a shop wants to-go bag labels, escalate before quoting.

Scanner. Rare in QSR. Only if they sell packaged retail at the counter.

Delivery integration. DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub orders through OrderOut, $45 per month per location, print to the same kitchen printer as every other order. Software, not hardware, but it belongs on a pizza quote. See How the DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub integration works.

"They take a lot of phone orders and the register is always busy." Upsell a second station at the phone: a P3 MIX if space is tight, a T3 or D3 Pro if they want the full screen. Orders from either device route to the same kitchen printer over the network.

"Their kitchen is in the back behind a walk-in and two walls." Flag it for additional networking before quoting. The basic $10 network assumes normal coverage; a far kitchen may need an extra access point or a cable run, quoted per location.

"The make line is right behind the register." If a USB cable from the T3 or D3 Pro reaches the printer, plug it in by USB and skip the network. If the merchant later wants a second printer or a KDS further back, the network goes on then.

"They want a D3 Pro." Fine. Add a network printer by USB beside it for receipts (or route receipts to the kitchen printer). The network is already on the quote for the kitchen.

"Drivers need to take payment at the door." A P3H per driver with a SIM card ($20 per month each). The P3H prints the receipt at the door. Without a SIM the P3H only works on the shop Wi-Fi.

"They want a screen in the kitchen instead of paper." KDS on the Ubiquiti network. Confirm model and cost with the Stackably team first.

"They want both a screen and a printer." Common and supported. KDS at the make line, printer at expo or for to-go bags. One network fee.

"The pickup counter is separate from the order counter." A P3H at pickup as an upsell for walk-up payments, or just a second T3 if the volume justifies it.

"They have a bar area too." A P3 MIX on the swivel cradle at the bar, or a second T3 for a big drink menu. A printer at the bar is another network printer on the same network.

"They want to skip the 5G backup." Their call, but tell them plainly: without it, an internet outage stops every terminal and printer until it comes back.

"They have tables and want servers to take orders at the table." Staff can carry a P3H or P3 MIX to take an order away from the counter on the shop Wi-Fi, but there is no table map, no seat-based ordering and no pay-at-the-table flow. Full-service restaurants that need table management are not a fit.

"They have two locations." One quote per location, each with its own network and 5G backup.

Which station? T3. D3 Pro works just as well with a USB network printer beside it.

Do they need Ubiquiti? Yes, as soon as a printer or KDS sits where a USB cable from the register cannot reach, which is nearly every kitchen. $10 per month, own line.

5G backup? Yes, on every quote that has Ubiquiti.

How many printers? Start with one. Add per kitchen station. One network fee covers all of them.

Phone orders? Upsell a second station: P3 MIX, T3 or D3 Pro by business.

Delivery apps? OrderOut, $45 per month per location, prints to the kitchen printer.
