DINO by NukkadShops runs billing, KOT, tables and Swiggy and Zomato orders on one platform, on a handheld that prints the bill at the table or a counter POS with a customer screen. Devices and prices are on this page.
The problems
Waiting for the waiter to take the order, then waiting for the bill - two slow moves that frustrate customers and reduce footfall per shift.
Paper KOTs pile up, chefs lose track of priority, dishes go out wrong or late - the kitchen falls apart exactly when it needs to perform.
Over-ordering ingredients with no track of what is consumed or spoiled makes waste invisible until it shows up on the P&L.
The waiter takes the order but still doesn't know which table is vacant - so the customer complains.
Without controls, the cash tray opens whenever anyone wants - with DINO it opens only during a transaction.
How we solve it
Customers scan, browse and order from the table; the order lands in the kitchen instantly - no waiting for a waiter.
Faster turns, happier tables.Orders print or display directly in the kitchen with modifiers and priority - no illegible slips, no wrong dishes.
Order errors nearly eliminated.Track what's consumed and what's spoiled so margins stop leaking silently.
Food cost becomes visible.Swiggy and Zomato orders flow into the same screen as dine-in - one queue, one kitchen, one report.
No more tablet juggling.The machines
A restaurant billing machine is half the purchase; the other half is the software that turns an order into a KOT and a bill at the same time. Every device below runs DINO. Choose by where the bill is made: at the table, at a counter, or in front of a queue.
| Device | Best at | Screen and printer | Price (+ 18% GST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| NS MPOS | Tableside billing, dhabas, small cafes, delivery handover | 5-inch handheld, inbuilt printer, 5,200 mAh battery | Rs 17,500 (Rs 20,650 incl.) |
| Aspire | A cafe or small restaurant counter | 11.6-inch, inbuilt 2-inch printer | Rs 29,990 (Rs 35,388 incl.) |
| Pro2 | QSR and high-volume counters | 15.6-inch full HD, Android 13, external printer | Rs 39,990 (Rs 47,188 incl.) |
| Elite-A | Food courts and QSRs where the customer sees the order | 14-inch dual display, external printer | Rs 41,990 (Rs 49,548 incl.) |
Every format
Counter billing on an Aspire, a QR menu on the tables and recipe-level costing that shows what each cup and plate actually earns.
What a 30-seat cafe needs →Speed at the counter on a Pro2 or Elite-A, self-order kiosks for the queue, and a kitchen display at every station.
The QSR POS page →Several brands, one kitchen: aggregator orders from every brand land in one queue, routed to the right prep station.
Four brands, one kitchen →Handheld billing that prints at the table, and one menu with one price list across every outlet on the highway.
The NS MPOS handheld →Table management, split bills and KOTs routed to the bar and the kitchen separately, so the pass never mixes them up.
KOT with station routing →Multi-brand F&B under one operator, with revenue-share reporting through ARMS at Delhi and Hyderabad airports.
Airport and travel retail →The kitchen
Every confirmed order, whether it came from a waiter, a QR scan or a delivery app, becomes a KOT the moment it is placed, routed to the station that has to cook it and tied to its table and time. Paper slips print where you still want them; a kitchen display screen replaces them where you do not, and shows how long each ticket has waited.
The two get confused often enough that we wrote it down: KOT vs KDS, the difference explained. On the floor, the Captain App puts ordering in the waiter's hand so the KOT leaves the table before the waiter does.
"Previously, calculating sales was very difficult, but now we can easily find the sales data and the profit. We can also manage the tables easily. Before, we took orders and informed the kitchen team manually, but now billing is automatic and the KOT print goes directly to the kitchen."
Case studies
How restaurants and QSRs across India are reducing chaos and growing revenue with NukkadShops.
Spice Rush QSR
Hand-written KOT slips between the floor and the kitchen sent 15-20 wrong dishes out every day. Digital KOTs with station routing and menu modifiers ended it - each order reaches the right kitchen station exactly as the waiter typed it, and the pass stopped being the bottleneck.
Highway Tadka
Eight highway dhabas meant eight versions of the menu - prices varied by outlet and food cost was a guess. Central menu management fixed pricing everywhere at once, and recipe-level costing turned food cost into a daily number instead of a month-end surprise.
A restaurant billing system is the software that turns an order into a bill and a kitchen instruction at the same time - it prices the order, applies GST, prints or shares the bill, and sends the KOT to the right kitchen station. DINO by NukkadShops is restaurant billing software built for that full path, so billing, KOT, table management and aggregator orders all run off one screen instead of three.
NukkadShops device prices are listed on this page: the handheld NS MPOS Rs 17,500 + 18% GST (Rs 20,650 incl.), Aspire Rs 29,990 + GST (Rs 35,388 incl.), Pro2 Rs 39,990 + GST (Rs 47,188 incl.) and the dual-screen Elite-A Rs 41,990 + GST (Rs 49,548 incl.). The DINO software plan is quoted per outlet.
For a small cafe or a single-counter restaurant, the Aspire (11.6-inch, inbuilt printer, Rs 29,990 + GST) does billing and KOT printing from one device. If bills are made at the table, the handheld NS MPOS (Rs 17,500 + GST) prints where the customer sits. Both run the full DINO software.
A KOT (kitchen order ticket) is the record the POS creates when an order is confirmed: what was ordered, for which table, at what time. DINO sends it to the right kitchen station as a printed slip or on a kitchen display screen, so the bill and the food always agree.
Yes. QSRs run DINO on a Pro2 or Elite-A counter with self-order kiosks and a kitchen display per station; cloud kitchens run several brands out of one kitchen with every aggregator order in one queue. Both formats have their own guides on this site.
Yes. Swiggy and Zomato orders flow into the same order screen as dine-in and QR orders, so the kitchen works from a single queue and one day-end report covers everything.
Yes. The waste management system built into DINO tracks what's been spoiled and consumed, and recipe-level costing shows the margin on every dish, so food cost stops being a guess.
DINO is the restaurant suite by NukkadShops - POS, QR table ordering, KOT management, kitchen displays, table management, waste tracking and aggregator integration in one connected platform.
