Q&A
Will this Application Prevent My POS from Printing Dine-In Orders?
- No, it will not prevent your current POS printing. Reasons are, network POS printers are supposed to be shared with many devices. For this reason, your POS developers supposed to release printer after each printing by any device. However, this is not guaranteed. If your network printer is communicating with only 1 device (order station), there will be chance the printer is not released on each printing, which makes the printer exclusive use. Print Delivery Order application releases the target printer after each printing by following standard practice, which is 'network printer is designed to be shared by many devices.'
I am using RestaurantXPOS, do I need this Application?
- No, RestaurantXPOS is able to print orders from DoorDash and Grubhub seamlessly. You do not need this application. If you install this application, you will see duplicate order receipts printed.

- No, this application prints order, and confirms order automatically. There is no need to have tablets provided by DoorDash or Gruhub.
