Tested
iPad 12.9" (M-series)
The default for full-service. Big screen, fast, familiar to staff, 10+ year update path. Most operators we onboard already own one.
POS Terminal hardware
Touchscreen POS terminals. iPad or commercial.
The screen at the counter. Takes the order, splits the check, fires the ticket. iPad, Android, commercial all-in-one — as long as it survives Friday night.
What we support
Three device classes. We're tested on all of them.
Pick what fits the spend, the space, and the operator who'll touch it 12 hours a day.
Tested
iPad 11" / Air
Smaller counters, cafe lines, secondary stations. Same software, smaller real estate.
Tested
Lenovo Tab / Samsung Galaxy Tab
Android path. Cheaper per unit, fine for high-station counts. Plain Android — no manufacturer overlays we have to fight.
Tested
Elo all-in-one (Elo I-Series class)
Commercial-grade touchscreen built into the chassis. Bigger upfront, longer life, easier to lock down. Good for chain rollouts.
Tested
Sunmi T2 / D2 / commercial Android
Purpose-built restaurant terminals with integrated printer + customer display. Common in the Turkish and SE Asian market.
Tested class
NCR / Posiflex / HP RP9 class
Enterprise commercial terminals, Windows or Android. Common in hotel POS environments and chains with a procurement standard.
Case by case
Generic Chinese Android terminals
The ones AliExpress sells under five different brand names. Send us the model — most work, some don't keep time properly when unplugged.
Already own one of these? Good — we likely don't need anything else. If not, tell us what you have and you get a config sheet with the specific model and the supplier we've used.
Mounting + accessories
The bits that turn a tablet into a till.
01
VESA mount or floor stand.
Tablet on a 75x75 VESA arm, or a weighted floor stand for the host stand. Cable channel keeps the wire out of the splash zone.
02
Customer-facing display.
Second screen for the customer — running total, items, tip prompt, "thank you." Plain HDMI display works. We've wired phones as displays for pop-ups.
03
Cash drawer.
Connects to a receipt printer over RJ-11, or USB-direct on commercial terminals. Opens on cash sales. Manual-open requires a reason. Logged against the user.
04
Receipt printer.
Standard thermal printer (ESC/POS protocol). Ethernet for shared printers, USB for under-counter. Epson, Star Micronics, Bixolon class — pick what your supplier carries.
05
Barcode scanner.
For grocery sidelines, gift-card redemption, batch inventory counts. Plug-and-play USB or Bluetooth.
06
Card reader.
Connects over Bluetooth or local network. We orchestrate the charge — your card processor handles the money. No payment-processing lock-in.
Connectivity
Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and the part where the internet drops.
Wi-Fi for tablets. Ethernet where you can run cable. Offline mode for when the line goes down.
Wi-Fi
5GHz on the floor — 2.4GHz gets crowded with customer phones. Dedicated SSID for the till hardware, separate from guest Wi-Fi. We help configure if your router supports it.
Ethernet
If you can run cable to the terminal, do. Wired Ethernet to commercial all-in-ones eliminates 80% of "the screen froze" tickets.
Offline mode
When the internet drops: orders keep taking. Kitchen printers keep firing on the local network. Marketplace orders queue and drain when the line comes back. No manual reconciliation.
Country compliance
The fiscal bits, said plainly.
Turkey
Certified fiscal POS compatible.
Local fiscal law requires receipts through a certified fiscal device. Several major certified models are integrated — fiscal receipt and POS receipt from the same transaction. Send us your model. If we don't support it today, integration ships in roughly two weeks once we have the spec.
Germany
TSE-ready category.
Technische Sicherheitseinrichtung — the certified signing module required on every German POS. We support hardware TSE sticks and cloud-TSE providers. Ships at our DE launch. Spec is locked.
UK
Making Tax Digital ready.
VAT submission stays clean — sales export to accounting in the MTD-compatible format. No bridging spreadsheet required.
EU, generally
VAT, receipt rules, KVKK / GDPR.
Standard receipts and VAT. Customer data stays in-region. Operator-controlled retention. If you operate in a country we haven't named, tell us — we'll be honest about whether we're ready.
Buying guidance
What to spend, roughly.
We don't quote prices — they move with the supplier, the country, the exchange rate. Here's the shape, by tier.
Budget
Android tablet on a counter stand.
Mid-range Android tablet, basic VESA mount, USB receipt printer, simple cash drawer. Works for a cafe, a takeaway-heavy spot, a second station. Suppliers vary — ask us.
Mid
iPad on VESA + Ethernet printer.
11" or 12.9" iPad, VESA arm with cable channel, network thermal printer, customer display, network-attached cash drawer. The default for most full-service kitchens we onboard. Suppliers vary — ask us.
Fixed install
Commercial all-in-one.
Elo, NCR or Posiflex-class all-in-one terminal. Heavier upfront, longer life, easier to lock down across a chain. Good for franchise rollouts where procurement wants one spec. Suppliers vary — ask us.
No markups, no kickbacks — you buy direct from your supplier of choice.
