ViaCucinaOrders from the waiter's phone, printed instantly in the kitchen.
ViaCucina – restaurant orders taken to the next level.
ViaCucina is the ordering system for restaurants, pizzerias and bars. No handhelds to buy: all you need is the phones your staff already have and a thermal printer.
No credit card. Ready in one evening.
From the table to the kitchen in three steps
Set up your menu once, then the floor team works from their phones.
Set up your menu
From a computer or phone, create categories, dishes and prices. A sold-out dish is hidden with one tap and disappears from the waiters' phones.
The waiter takes the order
Picks the table, taps dishes with + and −, adds a note like "no onions" and sends. Their name stays on the ticket.
The ticket prints where it's needed
The kitchen gets the dishes with tick boxes, the bar gets only the drinks and, when the table is freed, the cash desk gets the final bill with everything the table had.
Built for people who work the floor, not for people who sell software
Works on Android and iPhone
Opens in the browser and can be added to the home screen like an app. Nothing to download from the stores.
No lost orders when the signal drops
If a phone loses its connection, the order waits and goes out on its own as soon as the signal is back.
One ticket for each station
You decide which courses go to the kitchen, the cash desk or the bar. Each printer gets only what it needs.
Set menus
Set a fixed menu price per category and choose the dishes included. Anything else is charged as an extra.
End-of-day sales report
Dishes sold, tables served, orders and expected takings, also per waiter. It can print automatically at the time you choose.
A login for every waiter
Create a user for each person on the floor and reset passwords from the admin area, without calling anyone.
Use the printers you already have, or pick our recommended ones
Works with 80 mm thermal printers. Choose the setup that best fits your venue.
Cloud printers
All you need is the printer and an internet connection. No computer running on site.
- Star printers with cloud printing (CloudPRNT)
- Connect to the system by entering one address
- Ideal if you are starting from scratch
Printers connected to a computer
A computer in your venue, Windows or Linux, or a small Raspberry Pi, acts as a bridge between the system and the printers.
- ESC/POS thermal printers, for example MUNBYN, on the network or via USB
- The computer connects with a 6-digit code and finds the printers by itself
- The cheapest option if you already own printers
- Print agent for Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi
No computer on the floor? Use a Raspberry Pi as a print box
A computer the size of a deck of cards, plugged into your router: it receives the orders and sends them to all your printers. It uses very little power, takes up no space and restarts on its own after a power cut.
Want to try before buying a thermal printer? Tickets also print on a regular A4 printer, at real size, just like on 80 mm paper.

Frequently asked questions
Is the app available in English?
The app and the admin area are currently in Italian. An English interface is planned: in the meantime, the English guide explains every screen and button step by step.
Do I need to install an app on the phones?
No. Waiters open viacucina.it/cameriere in the browser and add it to the home screen: from there it opens like an app, on Android and iPhone.
What happens if a phone loses its connection?
The order stays on the phone and goes out on its own as soon as the signal comes back. Nothing needs to be re-entered.
Which printers can I use?
80 mm thermal printers: Star printers with cloud printing, which don't need a computer, or ESC/POS printers such as MUNBYN connected over the network or via USB to a computer in your venue. For testing, a regular A4 printer works too.
Do I need a computer in my venue?
Only if you use printers connected to a computer, and in that case a small Raspberry Pi will do. With Star cloud printers, phones and an internet connection are enough.
Does it work for pizzerias and bars too?
Yes. You decide the categories and courses, and you can send drinks to the bar printer and pizzas to the oven printer.
Can I cancel the subscription?
Yes, any time, from the admin area with "Manage payments and invoices". No commitment and no penalties.
Do I need a credit card for the trial?
No. The trial lasts 14 days with all features, and a card is only needed if you decide to continue.
