[Epson’s October 27 announcement](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/epsons-point-of-sale-solutions-bring-streamlined-order-pickup-to-multi-vendor-food-hall-in-florida-302920194.html) describes how Central Park St. Pete connects a shared checkout to separate kitchens: Kluck software directs print jobs, and Epson printers identify each guest’s food. The food hall in St. Petersburg, Florida, is a [Hi Hospitality Group concept](https://centralparkstpete.com/about).

The arrangement lets guests order from multiple concepts and pay once, while kitchens prepare independently, according to [Epson](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/epsons-point-of-sale-solutions-bring-streamlined-order-pickup-to-multi-vendor-food-hall-in-florida-302920194.html). Its ePOS technology lets Kluck send print jobs to the appropriate kitchen. TM-L100 printers produce guest-name labels at the stalls, while receipt printers serve bars and expo stations.

Pickup depends on how the customer orders. For the main-floor food concepts, [Central Park’s FAQ](https://centralparkstpete.com/faq%27s) directs guests to kiosks or QR codes for online ordering, rather than booth counters. Kiosk customers receive a text directing them to the concept’s window. Online and to-go orders go into ambient or heated lockers; a text supplies the locker number.

The [same instructions](https://centralparkstpete.com/faq%27s) distinguish The Meadows’ counter ordering and separate bar and table service elsewhere in the building. Guests needing assistance or a refund are directed to Hospitality Ambassadors near the first-floor Central Bar.
