Hardware buying guide

Pick the right hardware mix for your store size — avoid buying too much or too little

Recommended setups by store size

Match hardware to store type, floor size, and daily traffic.

1

Small store (<200 guests/day)

1 POS all-in-one + 1 thermal printer + 1 scanner. Roughly enough for everyday checkout.

2

Mid-size store (200–800 guests/day)

2 POS units + 2 printers + 1 QR payment device. Dual lanes cut peak queues.

3

Large / chain stores

3+ POS units, self-checkout, and electronic shelf labels. Ask an advisor for a tailored plan.

What to look for in each device

Key specs to check when purchasing.

1

POS all-in-one

CPU (i5 or better), 1080p display, at least 4 USB ports, and suitability for long daily uptime.

2

Thermal printer

Print speed (~300mm/s), 80mm paper width, compatible interface, durable cutter.

3

Scanner / payment device

Supports your local QR/card methods, clear display, solid drop/water resistance.

4

Electronic shelf labels

Size for your shelves, e-ink battery life (years), and update speed.
