Any esc/pos starline wizards out there?

I work in hospitality and this whole covid thing is really slamming us in random areas that generally aren't a problem. I don't need to type a novel, but I'm sure everyone here is familiar with doordash, grubhub, etc etc platforms. When you run the back end, each of these services (and every person in this business is going to have a few) all have to require their own tablet and their own printer. Nothing ever mixes tech wise, it's just annoying. Either it's starline or epson esc/pos, and then throw in if it's going to run over network or blueooth, make's a huge mixture. I work at... 14 physical locations, each one has 2-4 ordering platforms, each with their own tablet, each with their own stupid printer... Just to convey how annoying this is, 14 locations, call it 3 systems per, 42 tablets, 42 printers, minimum of 84 outlets I need... all for the stupidest shit ever. Then add on the POS systems for their order system and their printers and all that stuff. Man... a building that can eat 40 people can easily have to run 12+ printers, and that would be a very small location.

Ok, so I went on a little bit of a rage post, but it's just so frustrating. I want to be able to consolidate down to less equipment deployed. I don't even know where to start with this. I found this software, which \*would\* do exactly what I want, just lacks the damn protocols I need.

Is anyone else besides me in this receipt printer field where you're forced to mix so much proprietary tech that it becomes just a huge hassle to deal with?

Edit: Sorry to clarify, my state is shut down for food. The only way to keep our company afloat is with take out. We have already lost 5 locations. I'm trying to spin up basically any ordering system I can, to get any revenue possible to the company. All this had to happen mid server, isp, and telco migration to make it more fun because of bad timing. I am monstrously overloaded, and budgets are getting to be non-existent. I need to be as efficient as humanly possible. I think at last count we have 450 employees, and just 1 me. And honestly, this is still just going to be a waste of my time because in a week we will be on lock down anyways.

Edit 2: The fucking irony of all of this is majority of this shit I'm trying to do, I've said for the last year plus we NEED TO GET IN PLACE. Had all this been done and been in place I would be operating on 4 hours of sleep a night for the last 2 weeks. And 6 hours on the the 3 months before. Sorry... I think my brain has officially melted. Cannot keep up anymore.
