HARDWARE & COMPATIBILITY

POS software for your setup.
Check before replacing.

Planning to reuse a till, tablet, printer or card terminal? Build a compatibility checklist for your UK restaurant, café or takeaway.

Start with the equipment you already own.

POSMENTOR runs in a web browser. That does not make every device or peripheral compatible. Send the team your operating system, browser, screen size and device model, along with printer and payment-terminal details, before buying replacements.

What to check

EquipmentCheck before committing
Till or tabletBrowser, operating system, screen size, network and your intended service layout.
Receipt or kitchen printerCompatible network ESC/POS printer, network reachability and an Ax Bridge host. A browser alone does not guarantee local printing.
Card terminalProvider, exact model, merchant account, supported integration and pairing requirements.
Kitchen displayScreen, browser, power and reliable API connectivity in the kitchen.

Card payments are provider-specific.

Review Dojo, Paymentap, SumUp and Square integrations with the team. Paymentap’s supported POSitive WebLink connection uses Ax Bridge; other providers have their own merchant and device configuration. A working standalone terminal is not proof of integrated compatibility.

Plan for connectivity.

Live web POS and kitchen updates need API connectivity. The desktop version’s cached-reading capability is not a promise of full offline ordering or card payments. Discuss your network and recovery procedure during setup.

Prepare your equipment list.

  • Till and tablet models, operating systems and quantity.
  • Printer models, connection types and where receipts must print.
  • Terminal provider, model and existing merchant agreement.
  • Number of service points and kitchen screens.
