Kitchen gear that works with Pantry Raider

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The links on this page are affiliate links, so buying through them supports the project at no extra cost to you.

These are the parts we use in our own kitchen display, plus everyday kitchen tools we recommend. None of it is required: Pantry Raider runs on hardware you already have.

Our picks

The display build

A Raspberry Pi, a touchscreen, a Stream Deck, a barcode scanner, and a label printer: the same parts in the build we run ourselves. See the hardware page for how they fit together.

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (4GB)

The little computer that runs the whole Pantry Raider display.

This is the board in our own build; 4GB is plenty for the kiosk, camera feeds, and timers.

Touchscreen

Hoysund 7-inch touchscreen display

A 7-inch capacitive touch panel that mounts cleanly next to the Pi.

This is the display in our own build; counter-friendly size for pantry and timer taps.

Stream Deck

Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 (15-key)

15 LCD keys for one-touch scanning modes, timers, and recipe steps.

This is the deck in our own build; the 15-key layout is the sweet spot for the Pantry Raider controls.

Barcode Scanner

Waveshare Barcode Scanner Module

A hands-free 1D/2D scan-engine module that reads barcodes without a trigger button.

This is the scanner in our own build; set it up in scan mode with the app's guided setup codes.

Label Printer

SUPVAN T50M Pro label printer

A pocket-size Bluetooth thermal printer for shelf and container labels.

This is the printer in our own build; pair it once and it shows up as a normal printer in the app.

Accessories

Official Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply

The right power supply so the Pi runs a display without brownouts.

An underpowered supply is the most common cause of flaky kiosks.

High-endurance microSD card (32GB+)

The storage the Pi boots from; high-endurance cards last far longer.

An always-on kiosk writes constantly, so endurance matters here.

Raspberry Pi 4 case with active cooling

Keeps the board cool and dust-free next to the stove.

Active cooling keeps a hardworking kiosk from throttling.
