laCookOrders reach the kitchen paper-free
As soon as an order comes in, dishes appear on the cook's tablet by station. The cook taps «started» and «ready», and the timer flags late tickets in yellow and red.
Download the app
Stations and dish routing come from the laCafe dashboard — with iiko they sync automatically.
From ticket to pass
The screen hangs on the wall: large text, colors readable from 2 meters, minimal taps.
Already connected to laCafe
laCook is part of the laCafe ecosystem: orders from the POS, laPOS, QR menu, laKiosk, laTable and delivery land on one screen.
Works offline too
With a POS server or laBox in the branch, the tablet connects over the local network. Otherwise via the cloud — it switches by itself.
Expo screen
The pass sees the whole order — including items that need no prep (Cola, bread) — and marks it «served».
Every order source
Dine-in, QR menu, kiosk, website and delivery orders all arrive as the same ticket.
A cook is staff
Each screen is a cook in laCafe, with its branch, mode and stations. Disconnect with one button.
Always on
The screen never sleeps and refreshes itself when a new ticket arrives. Pairs with a one-time code.
3 languages
Uzbek, Russian or English — set per tablet.

Through the cloud or on the kitchen network
One pairing code works for both. The app looks for a local server every minute and switches to it when found.
Cloud
Over the internet, no server needed: tickets come from laCafe. The main path for most restaurants.
Local
Through the branch POS server or laPOS on laBox, over the kitchen Wi-Fi. Tickets keep arriving even when the internet drops.

iPad, iPhone and Android tablets. One screen per station, or several stations on one screen — you choose in settings.
