Just Eat Printer UK — Auto-Print Orders in 2026 (Setup Guide)
The Problem With How Most Kitchens Handle Just Eat Orders
The tablet pings. Someone picks it up, reads the order, and either calls it out verbally or walks it over to the kitchen. That person then has to hover nearby in case the next order comes through.
It's a workflow that degrades under pressure. Verbal orders get missed. Modifiers get forgotten. During a busy service, the person managing the tablet becomes a bottleneck for the entire operation.
Auto-printing solves it completely. The order arrives, the printer fires, a ticket lands in the kitchen. Your team processes it the same way they'd process a walk-in order.
How to Auto-Print Just Eat Orders
Route 1: Direct Printer on the Just Eat Tablet (Quickest to Set Up)
The Just Eat Hub app supports direct Bluetooth and USB printing. Here's the setup:
1. Connect your printer to the Just Eat tablet. For Bluetooth, pair from the tablet's system settings first — the Hub app can only see printers that are already paired at OS level.
2. Open Just Eat Hub → Settings → Printing
3. Select your printer from the list
4. Toggle Auto-print on order received to on
5. Set paper width — 80mm is standard
6. Run a test print before your first service
The Epson TM-M30III Just Eat compatible printer is specifically verified for Just Eat Hub. It connects via Bluetooth, fits on tight counters, and prints fast. That's the quickest route to a working setup.
The Star TSP143IV (browse the full printer range) also works reliably via Bluetooth or USB.
Route 2: EPOS Integration
Some EPOS systems include native Just Eat integration — Comtrex, Lightspeed, and others. If your EPOS supports it, Just Eat orders feed directly into your main system and print through your existing kitchen or receipt printer. No tablet management, no separate queue.
Check your EPOS settings before spending on additional hardware. The Lightspeed starter kit is one integration-capable option stocked at Commandear.
Route 3: Middleware for Multi-Platform Operations
If you're juggling Just Eat alongside Deliveroo and UberEats, middleware platforms like Deliverect, Flipdish, and Otter consolidate all three into one print queue. One printer, one ticket format, one workflow.
For the full multi-platform picture, the restaurant receipt printer guide covers how all three delivery channels fit together.
Troubleshooting: When It Doesn't Work
Printer not showing in Just Eat Hub
It hasn't been paired in system Bluetooth settings yet. Pair there first, then return to the Hub app.
Auto-print fires manually but not automatically
Android battery optimisation. Go to Device Settings → Apps → Just Eat Hub → Battery → Unrestricted. This stops the OS from suspending the app between orders.
Print output is blank
Wrong paper type. Thermal printers need thermal receipt paper — standard office paper produces no output. Confirm 80mm thermal paper is loaded.
Printer drops connection after a few hours
Bluetooth range or interference. Check the distance between tablet and printer, reduce competing Bluetooth devices, or switch to USB for a stable fixed-position connection.
What Should Be on Every Just Eat Kitchen Ticket
Don't leave this to default settings. A good kitchen ticket includes:
• Order number (essential when the rider collects)
• Customer first name
• Full item list with every modifier, extra, and removal — written out fully
• Special instructions and allergy notes, in large text
• Estimated collection time
If you're getting complaints about wrong orders, nine times out of ten the ticket isn't giving the kitchen enough information. Fix the ticket before blaming the kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Just Eat provide a printer?
No. Just Eat provides the tablet; you provide the printer. The Epson TM-M30III Just Eat compatible printer is the tested option.
Can one printer handle Just Eat, Deliveroo, and UberEats?
Yes — via middleware or EPOS integration. See the Deliveroo printer guide and UberEats printer guide for the other platform setups.
What paper size do I need for Just Eat printing?
80mm thermal receipt paper is standard for most printers. Check your specific model before ordering rolls.
Will the printer work if the Just Eat app is closed?
No — auto-print requires the Just Eat Hub app to be running in the foreground or background. Enable background app permissions and disable battery optimisation for the app.
