Choosing the Right Hardware for Your Restaurant POS

While the software is the brain, the hardware is the body of your Restaurant POS system. Choosing the right components is vital for day-to-day efficiency.

The Main Terminal

Should you go with a traditional fixed terminal or a mobile tablet? Consider your service style—fine dining vs. quick service.

Receipt Printers

Do you need thermal printers at the counter and impact printers in the kitchen? (Kitchen printers need to withstand heat and humidity).

Barcode Scanners

Essential for POS Inventory in the restaurant industry-focused outlets or for scanning loyalty cards and coupons.

Cash Drawers

Ensure they are robust and integrated with your POS for automated opening and tracking.

Network Infrastructure

A strong, secure Wi-Fi network is the foundation of any cloud-based Restaurant POS. Don't skimp on your router and access points.
