Star Micronics to show hospitality POS and labeling tech at Hospitality Tech Expo 2026

Star Micronics will demo new POS, mobile ordering, food labeling and self-service kiosk tools at Hospitality Tech Expo 2026 in London on Sept. 29-30. The lineup is aimed at helping hospitality operators handle more ordering channels, tighten food labeling and speed up setup across stores.

Why it matters: - Hospitality operators are juggling more order channels, including restaurant, kiosk, drive-thru, online collection and delivery. - Star Micronics is pitching printers and kiosk integrations that aim to improve order accuracy, food labeling and front-of-house efficiency. - The company’s focus on faster setup and cloud connectivity targets both large chains and independent venues.

What happened: - Star Micronics will exhibit at Hospitality Tech Expo 2026 on Sept. 29-30 at Excel London. - The company will show its latest solutions for omnichannel hospitality on Stand HT612. - The demo lineup covers POS, mobile ordering, food labeling and self-service kiosk applications. - Star will present the products with hospitality POS, payment, food safety labeling and kiosk partners.

The details: - Star’s linerless label printers are designed to print variable-length low-adhesive food order labels that can travel through prep and double as a final bag seal. - The labels can include a pickup order number or delivery address. - Star says the approach is meant to increase order accuracy and efficiency. - The compact TSP143IV SK linerless label and receipt printer includes a built-in paper taken sensor for queuing orders. - The TSP143IV SK supports local, network, tablet and cloud connectivity. - The TSP143IV SK comes with a 4-year standard warranty. - Star will also show the IP22-rated mC-Label2 and mC-Label3 printers. - Those printers can produce traditional die-cut labels and permanent linerless media from 25mm to 80mm wide. - The printers support tablet connectivity and CloudPRNT™ for setup and multi-estate provisioning. - Star says the mC-Label2 and mC-Label3 are suited to food storage, date labeling and stock rotation in kitchens and catering environments. - The printers can print branding, logos, graphics and barcodes. - The printers are also designed for HACCP-compliant allergen and ingredient labels for pre-packed and to-go food. - The mC-Print2 is less than 10cm wide. - The printers do not require toner or ink cartridges. - Star will display its mC-Print3 and TSP100IV receipt and order printers with POS and payment integrations. - Star kiosk partners will provide live demonstrations for global QSR chains and hotel and hospitality venues. - RapidSYNC technology lets the latest POS and label printers connect to WiFi in under a minute. - Star says that reduces provisioning time and cost.

Between the lines: - The product push reflects a broader shift toward unified workflows across ordering, printing and fulfillment. - Faster wireless setup is likely aimed at operators that need to roll out systems across many locations with less technical overhead. - The emphasis on linerless and low-consumable printing suggests a cost and waste reduction angle, alongside speed.

What's next: - Star will continue the live demonstrations through the two-day expo. - The company is using the event to position its cloud-connected product ecosystem for hospitality and QSR buyers. - More information is available in Star Micronics' announcement.

The bottom line: - Star Micronics is using Hospitality Tech Expo 2026 to show how printers, labeling and kiosks can be combined into a faster, more connected hospitality operation.
