The hardware that makes the difference

GlorEat runs on ordinary hardware — nothing exotic. But two choices really change daily life in the kitchen: screen size and the printer. Here is what we recommend.

See every order

The tablet shows orders the moment they arrive, with the ring, the countdown and a colour that changes when time runs short.

Take orders on the spot

On a large screen the whole menu fits without scrolling, so a counter or phone order takes seconds to enter.

Print the ticket

The thermal printer prints the ticket as soon as the order is accepted, with the preparation time on it.

The tablet

This is the screen your team looks at all day long.

12 inches minimum

Below that the product list gets narrow and you have to scroll to take an order. From 12 inches up the whole menu fits on screen — and bigger is better still.

Most affordable
13"

HONOR Pad X9 Max

Screen: 13"

The best size-to-price ratio. A 13-inch screen, more than enough for the kitchen and for taking orders.

Best balance
14.3"

TCL NXTPAPER 14

Screen: 14.3"

The largest of the three. Its matte screen doesn't reflect kitchen lighting — a real advantage above a brightly lit worktop.

Most comfortable
13.1"

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+

Screen: 13.1"

The safe choice: solid build, years of Android updates, bright screen. Mind the model name: the 13.1-inch one is the FE+; the plain FE is only 10.9 inches.

Check before you buy

  • A screen of 12 inches or more
  • Android — the GlorEat app installs in seconds
  • Wi-Fi that reaches the kitchen properly
  • A stand and a charger: the tablet stays on all day

The thermal printer

80 mm, the standard receipt width: paper is available everywhere and costs next to nothing.

80 mm

SUNMI NT311

Paper:
80 mm
Connection:
Bluetooth · LAN · Wi-Fi · USB-C

A cloud printer built for kitchens. It holds tickets in memory if the network drops and prints them as soon as it is back. Bluetooth, network and Wi-Fi are all built in.

80 mm

Epson TM-m30III

Paper:
80 mm
Connection:
Bluetooth · LAN · Wi-Fi

The Epson benchmark: compact, fast and hard to kill. Pick the version with whichever interface suits you, Bluetooth or network.

Bluetooth: no cable to runA Bluetooth printer connects straight to the tablet. No network cable to run to the worktop, nothing to drill: you put it down and it prints.
Network works just as wellBluetooth is not required. A network printer (LAN / Ethernet) works perfectly with GlorEat, and is even more stable in a large kitchen or when several devices print.

Check before you buy

  • 80 mm paper
  • Automatic paper cutter
  • Bluetooth or Ethernet — both work
  • ESC/POS compatible, the standard for receipt printers

Already have a 58 mm printer? That works too: just select the paper width in the printing settings of your dashboard.
