Stop printing orders too early. Start prepping at the perfect time.
Smart Print Timing automatically schedules your prints based on pickup or delivery time and date. Orders print exactly when your team needs to start prepping, not hours before.
Every busy kitchen knows this too well
Your customer schedules an order at 2:00 PM for delivery at 6:00 PM. Your printer fires immediately. Now that ticket sits in your kitchen for 4 hours, getting buried under other orders, or worse... someone preps it way too early and the food sits.
Sound familiar?
- Orders printing hours before they're needed
- Kitchen staff confused about what to prep and when
- Tickets getting lost in the shuffle
- Food sitting too long and losing quality
- Manual tracking of "when to actually start this one"
You're not alone. This is the reality for restaurants, cloud kitchens, and food delivery businesses using scheduled orders.

Why we built this
We're SoaringLeads, and we build WordPress plugins that help e-commerce businesses succeed. We created Printus to automate kitchen printing, and Chwazi to handle delivery scheduling.
But we kept hearing the same frustration from our customers: "Orders print too early..."
So we built Smart Print Timing. It's the missing piece that makes scheduled orders actually work in real kitchen operations.
