Uber Eats Compatible Printers: The Official 2026 Guide for UK Restaurants

For any busy UK takeaway or restaurant, the "ping" of a new Uber Eats order is the sound of business growing. But if your hardware isn’t up to the task, that sound quickly becomes a headache. Finding a receipt printer compatible with Uber Eats is one of the most common challenges for hospitality owners today.

In this guide, we decided to break down the official Uber Eats compatible printers and their features, ensuring you choose the right kit to keep your kitchen running with no issues. 

Why Compatibility Matters for Uber Eats

Uber Eats uses specific drivers within their tablet app. If you buy a generic "Bluetooth printer" from a third-party marketplace, the app likely won't "see" it. To avoid any hiccups, you should only use Star Micronics or Epson models that are officially vetted by the platform. 

What models do we recommend? 

1. Star Micronics TSP143IIIBI (The Gold Standard)

The Star TSP143IIIBI is widely considered the best Uber Eats Bluetooth printer in the UK.

• Key Feature: It features "Auto-Connect" technology. If your tablet loses power or moves out of range, it re-pairs automatically once back in proximity.

• Best for: Standard high-volume takeaways and restaurants.

• Why buy it: It includes an internal power supply, meaning no messy "power bricks" cluttering your counter.

2. Epson TM-m30III 

The Epson TM-m30III is also a compact Uber Eats printer.

• Key Feature: A sleek, "cube" design that can be oriented for top or front-loading receipts.

• Best for: Modern cafes and boutiques with limited counter space.

• Why buy it: It is incredibly easy to set up with both Android and iOS tablets via Bluetooth or Ethernet.

3. Star mC-Print3 

Do you suffer from flaky Wi-Fi in the kitchen? The Star mC-Print3 with SteadyLAN* is the solution.

• Key Feature: It provides a stable, wired internet connection to your iPad via the charging cable.

• Best for: Basements or older buildings with poor wireless signals.

• Why buy it: It charges your tablet while simultaneously ensuring you never miss an order due to a Wi-Fi drop.

Comparison: Which Uber Eats Printer is Right for You?

Advanced Solutions: Ending Connection Drops & Missed Orders.

*SteadyLAN™: No Wi-Fi? No Problem.

Most UK kitchens are full of stainless steel and heavy appliances that kill Wi-Fi signals. If your Uber Eats tablet loses its wireless connection, there are ways to prevent that from happening. 

Star SteadyLAN (available on the mC-Print3 and TSP143IV models) is the world’s first solution that provides stable, wired internet to your iPad or Android tablet directly through the printer's charging cable.

• Wired Reliability: Your tablet gets its internet from the printer’s Ethernet (LAN) cable.

• Constant Charging: Your device stays at 100% battery all day.

• Zero Setup: Just plug the tablet into the printer's "USB-C" or "Lightning" port, and the connection is instant.

CloudPRNT™: Printing Without the Tablet

While standard Uber Eats setups require a tablet to "push" the order to the printer, CloudPRNT allows the printer to "pull" orders directly from the cloud server. Meaning, you can print from anywhere. 

• Tablet-Free Printing: If you use an aggregator like Deliverect, HubRise, or It's Lolly, CloudPRNT allows orders to print automatically the second they are placed, even if your tablet is turned off or logged out.

• Perfect for Dark Kitchens: Since the printer talks directly to the internet, it’s the most robust way to ensure a ticket is never missed during a busy Friday night rush.

How to Set Up Your Uber Eats Printer in 3 Minutes

Once you have your hardware, follow these steps:

1. Pair the Device: Go to your tablet's Bluetooth settings and pair with the Star or Epson device.

2. Open the App: Open the Uber Eats Orders app and tap the Menu (☰).

3. Enable Printing: Go to Settings > Receipt Printing.

4. Toggle 'On': Switch the toggle to 'Enabled'. Your printer model should appear automatically.

5. Test Print: Always run a test print before the Friday night rush!
