OpenTable Printer Compatibility: OpenTable supports a range of receipt printers, from simple Bluetooth models that pair to an iPad quickly, to wired Ethernet printers built for high-volume restaurants and shared kitchen setups. Choosing the right printer depends on your restaurant layout, how many tablets need access, and whether you also print for delivery apps, POS receipts, or guest checks.

OpenTable Printer Guide: This guide covers major OpenTable-compatible printers in 2026, including all four common connectivity options: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB. Whether you are setting up a front-of-house host stand or a shared back-of-house kitchen printer, the right connection type can help improve order flow and printing reliability.

  • Compatible Devices: iPad (iOS 11+), Android tablets (Android 6+), and any Bluetooth 4.0-capable device running OpenTable or connected apps.
  • Paper Requirement: 80mm (3.1") thermal receipt paper rolls. No ink, no ribbon — direct thermal printing only.
  • OpenTable Setup: Pair the printer via your device Bluetooth settings, then connect it in your OpenTable restaurant app or integrated POS. Auto-print can be enabled per order or confirmation type.
  • Also compatible with: Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub, Deliveroo, Shopify POS, Square, Lightspeed, Vend, Hike, and MobiPOS.
  • Ideal for: Restaurants managing in-house reservations alongside multiple delivery platforms on a single printer.

OpenTable FAQ

Is the TSP143IIIB compatible with Square or Shopify POS alongside OpenTable?: Yes. The TSP143IIIB integrates with Square, Shopify POS, Lightspeed, Vend, Hike, and MobiPOS. Many full-service restaurants use OpenTable for reservations and guest management while running Square or Shopify POS for in-house transactions, and the TSP143IIIB can support those workflows on a single printer.

What is the difference between the Star TSP143IV and the TSP143IIIB?: The TSP143IV is the newer generation of the TSP143 line. Key upgrades include Bluetooth 5.0 instead of Bluetooth 4.0, a USB-C port instead of USB-B, and improved media handling for easier paper loading. Both models print at 250mm/sec and are OpenTable compatible. The TSP143IV costs slightly more, but it is the better long-term investment when buying new hardware.

Should I use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth printing for OpenTable?: It depends on your setup. Bluetooth is best for single-tablet setups where simplicity matters, with no network configuration required. Wi-Fi, such as the TSP143IIIW, is better when multiple tablets or a central POS need to share one printer because the printer connects to your restaurant network. Wi-Fi also removes Bluetooth range limitations, which can matter in larger dining rooms.

Can the Star TSP143 series connect via Ethernet?: Yes, but not every model supports Ethernet. The TSP143IV supports LAN/Ethernet connectivity in addition to wireless and USB options. Ethernet is ideal for high-availability restaurant environments, shared kitchen printers, or locations where Wi-Fi congestion is a concern. The TSP143IIIB does not include a LAN port and is Bluetooth-only.

What is the best OpenTable printer for a shared kitchen setup?: For a shared kitchen where multiple tablets or POS terminals need to print to the same device, use the TSP143IIIW for Wi-Fi or the TSP143IV for LAN/Wi-Fi. Both allow multiple devices to access the printer over the restaurant network. A Bluetooth printer like the TSP143IIIB is paired to one device at a time, making it less suitable for shared-access kitchen environments.
