Project overview

End-to-end food billing & kitchen POS for outlets that need fast checkout, dependable printers and cloud-backed data. Built with Flutter + Firebase so menus, orders and shop settings stay in sync across devices.

Looking for a Flutter POS developer in Varanasi, Firebase billing app, or thermal printer integration? This project shows production patterns: realtime data, strict roles and flows like modify / soft-cancel without breaking sales reporting.

What we shipped

Highlights

Billing & KOT flow

Menu → cart → thermal bill; optional kitchen ticket (KOT); persist orders to Firestore; KOT-only print from cart when needed.

Roles & streams

First signup = owner; then staff accounts. Staff see their orders via stream; Orders tab works for staff workflows too.

Order lifecycle

Modify items/qty; cancel as soft state (exclude from sales); hard delete owner-only; cancelled orders visibly separated in UI.

Cloud shop settings

Shop name, tagline, receipt QR flag in meta/app — realtime sync on every device; QR toggle writes to cloud immediately.

Thermal printing

Customer receipt, KOT reprint, print from saved orders; Bluetooth pairing / connection flows for counters.

Polish & release

Display name Mindset Media, launcher/login copy; layout fixes (Expanded bottom sheet, menu footer Row). flutter build apk release; iOS/web branding tuned.

Owner vs staff

Owner

Dashboard, staff management, shop settings, full order visibility, soft cancel / modify, and only owner can permanently delete orders.

Staff

Menu & cart, billing and prints, Orders tab for day-to-day sales; streams scoped to their orders — no destructive deletes.

Frequently asked questions

Menu and cart, thermal customer billing, optional kitchen tickets (KOT), Firestore persistence and realtime updates across signed-in devices, plus Bluetooth printer workflows suited to busy food counters.

Owners manage dashboard-level controls, staff and shop configuration. Staff focus on selling and printing, with streams scoped to their orders. Permanent order deletion is restricted to owners; cancellation can remain reversible for reporting.

Yes — customer receipts, KOT prints and reprints, including from saved orders and cart-only KOT scenarios, using ESC/POS style output over Bluetooth.

Developed end-to-end by Web Developer Kashi (Varanasi) as a portfolio-grade Flutter + Firebase POS implementation for food businesses across India.
