The Ordermark restaurant management solution now includes the Epson OmniLink TM-T88VI point-of-sale printer that allows restaurants to print brick-and-mortar and virtual kitchen online orders through one system, according to a press release.

"By offering the Epson receipt printer as part of our Ordermark online order management solution and Nextbite delivery-only brands, restaurants can be confident in knowing they have a dependable printer powering their online order fulfillment," Alex Canter, CEO, Ordermark, said in the press release.

With built-in Ethernet and USB, plus Bluetooth and wireless options, the TM-T88VI supports traditional PC-POS, mobile POS and cloud-based POS. Restaurants can print from web-based applications using Epson's ePOS print technology or utilize server direct printing for online ordering. Built-in cloud functionality allows restaurants to leverage POS applications and perform remote firmware upgrades with OmniLink Merchant Services. Epson's beacon support provides distributed proximity-based printing, and NFC enables Bluetooth pairing for tablet connectivity and printer selection.

Ordermark also helps restaurants and virtual kitchens aggregate mobile orders across all the major online ordering service providers into a single dashboard and printer. Nextbite creates online, delivery-only restaurant concepts with chef and celebrity inspired menus.

"The virtual kitchen solution has allowed us to utilize space in the kitchen we weren't fully utilizing prior, which is certainly helping us keep our employees working and our restaurant up and running," said James Garofalo, CFO/COO, Goddess and the Baker. "The Epson POS printer has been instrumental to our online ordering system, providing one central printer where we can receive both online orders for our restaurant and orders for our virtual kitchen brands."
